A <anchor>weird festival</anchor> held in Finland every year in the month of August, the Air Guitar Championship is quite a famous festival. For those who haven’t heard it, this weird contest does not require one to have any musical instrument at all. Participants from all over the world flock to Finland to play an imaginary rock and roll, without the instruments. The whole purpose of this championship is to bring world peace. As the organizers say all bad things disappear if everyone in the world played the Air Guitar, “Make Air, and Not War”. What began as an event to promote world peace is today amongst the top unusual festivals in the world.

## / General Information

### Festival Week

#### 17- 21 September 2024

When we launched the World Bodypainting Festival in 1998 we didn’t expect that this will last for years nor for decades. We found our way even in the pandemic times and after celebrated the 25th anniversary. After that celebration we found a new layout and got an amazing positive feedback from our community.

And here we are to contiune the new path of the **"World Bodypainting Festival"** with the 27th edition.

The **#wbfestival2024** will focus again on the art of body painting, face fx and expand our focus to the visual art forms.
