Münsterland Festival part 13 with guest country Spain

FLAMENCO WITH FLAMINGOS: THAT WAS PART 13 WITH GUEST COUNTRY SPAIN

Guests came from the north of Europe for the twelfth edition: Finland was the focus of Münsterland Festival part 12 and brought music, art and culture to Münsterland in the fall of 2023.

With over 100 participating artists, 50 events and 35 venues, the Münsterland Festival 2023 was bigger and more diverse than ever before. In addition to top-class concerts, for example by star jazz pianist Iiro Rantala or one-woman band Maija Kauhanen, there were many other formats that focused on the culture and lifestyle of the Finnish guests - including sauna facilities, of course.

On this page, you can browse through the program of the twelfth festival edition and take yourself back to autumn 2023 with the festival playlist and picture gallery. We hope you enjoy it!
