Stay at the Heart of FinnFest—and Help Support the Festival You Love
Book your stay at Hilton Minneapolis, our official FinnFest 2026 host hotel, and be part of making this special gathering possible.
FinnFest is built by a community that comes together to celebrate Finnish culture, music, food, stories, sauna, friendship, and connection. This year, there is one especially simple way attendees can help support the event: stay with us at the Hilton Minneapolis.
Every room booked through the FinnFest hotel block helps us meet our hotel commitment and manage overall event costs. It is an easy but meaningful way to support FinnFest while also putting yourself right in the middle of the weekend.
Stay Where FinnFest Comes Together
When you stay at the host hotel, you are steps from programming, concerts, exhibits, and evening gatherings—and from the fellow attendees who make FinnFest feel like a reunion. The lobby becomes a meeting place between sessions. Conversations spill over from the schedule into late-night plans. You are part of the full weekend, not just individual events on your calendar.
Yes, There Is a Sauna
After a full day of music, presentations, shopping, conversations, and celebration, there may be no more FinnFest-friendly amenity than an on-site sauna. The Hilton Minneapolis offers guests a chance to slow down, warm up, and recharge before another memorable day at FinnFest.
Make a Weekend of It
Beyond the festival itself, the hotel offers an indoor pool, a Starbucks for mornings, on-site dining and casual options, and the Topgolf Swing Suite for friends or family in the evening—nice extras that round out your Minneapolis stay.
Your Reservation Helps FinnFest
Room reservations through our official hotel block help support the festival’s ability to bring people together in Minneapolis, keep the event financially sustainable, and continue this gathering for the Finnish-American community—even if you are not able to sponsor, volunteer, or donate. Your stay matters.
