Royals visit Finland / An2 Sparky live in Lapland -
The “Royal Cultural Experience in Lapland” is a unique international cultural program scheduled from 29th June to 5th July 2026 in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. The initiative is hosted by Cecilia Naadensua Quarshie, Founder of Ceci Educare Oy, in collaboration with renowned Finnish artist Sini Kunnas.

The program combines royal cultural dialogues, artistic showcases, storytelling, networking opportunities, and multicultural performances aimed at promoting mutual understanding and global cultural appreciation.
A major highlight of the program will take place on 3rd July 2026, featuring a live performance by Gambian artist An2 Adi Sparky, bringing vibrant African music and energy to the Arctic stage.
