Maskerad 2026 – Collapse of the Archives

Welcome to celebrate TOKYO’s 65th anniversary at our annual celebration, Maskerad!

As is tradition, the party is a free-spirited masquerade, held at Helsinki’s White Hall (Valkoinen sali) on Friday, 23 October 2026. We want to celebrate TOKYO’s 65-year journey, and as this is the 21st Maskerad to be held consecutively, it is only natural that this year’s theme is Collapse of the Archives. You can choose any theme from previous Maskerads and dress accordingly!

Some of the themes you are free to draw inspiration from include:

  • Vive L’art
  • Retro Scifi
  • Paradise Under Construction
  • Mutation
  • DIY Space Dream
  • Nature Calls
  • Fairytale Forestfire
  • Horror Circus
  • Bubbling Under
  • Voodoo

The event starts at 7:30 PM and the party continues late into the night, until the final call at 3 AM. The evening will feature a lineup of different artists, a costume competition, and the naming of distinguished figures from our art community.
