Tomatkarnevalen 2025: Open Call Application
We are accepting applications for the upcoming Tomatkarnevalen "Tomato Carnival" summer 2025. The carnival is arranged the 2nd of July to the 5th of July 2025.

Are you an artist, band, association, group or company wishing to perform or arrange some kind of appearance or entertainment at the Carnival? Then you should fill out this application! The closing date for applications is the 2nd of March 2025.

Every year we recieve many requests to perform at the Carnival. The competition is fierce and the organisers have a big puzzle to assemble. The Open Call application intends to improve conditions and provide a level playing field for performers and artists who want to be part of the event. The application helps the organizers to plan the event as good as possible. This Open Call is aimed at amateur and professional acts both locally and from other regions. The daytime programme is organised by the Town of Närpes. 

During the Carnival 2025 there will be the following stages to perform on:
1. The big carnival stage (Friday and Saturday)
2. The small carnival stage on the square of Närpes (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) New Stage 2025!
3. The park stage in the city center (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday)
4. The stage and auditorium "Frans Henrikson" in the Mittistan-building (Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday)

The small carnival stage on the square is new Summer 2025. The stage is best suited for smaller performances of one person or smaller groups. 15-20 minutes performances are best suited for this stage. 

New for the Open Call Application 2025 is that you can also apply to perform during the evening programme that is arranged during Friday 4th of July and Saturday 5th of July 2025. NB! The Evenening Programme is arranged by the company Tomatkarnevalen Entertainment. 

A special carnival team will review all applications and select a limited number of applications of varying art forms and styles to create a diverse and enjoyable programme for the carnival visitors. Perhaps you will be the one chosen to get the opportunity to perform at the Carnival summer 2025! 

Everyone who applies through our Open Call application will recieve an answer in the beginning of April 2025.

Are you arranging your own programme during the Carnival?
Are you a local actor arranging your own programme outside the official program area but think your program is connected to the Carnival? E.g. sports matches, exhibitions, shows or other types of entertainment. Submit information about this to sarah.woodward@narpes.fi no later than 30 April 2025, and we may be able to include your program in the official Carnival programme as well as allowing the organisers to consider your program when planning the event as a whole.

Activity Day the 2nd of July
On the 2nd of July an Activity Day will be organized during the Carnival. On the Activity Day associations and groups can introduce their field by preparing various activities for the visitors. Associations and groups wishing to participate in the Activity Day do not need to register via this  application. Registration and more information will be available during the Spring of 2025.
