Festspillene i Kristiansund

A week of art and excitement
The Kristiansund Festival is one of the oldest festivals in the country and a highlight of the cultural year in Nordmøre. Over the course of a few summer days, the city is filled with music, dance, theater and exhibitions, where professional artists meet local forces.

Culture by the sea
With stages ranging from classic concert halls to intimate outdoor venues, the festival reflects the maritime identity of Kristiansund. Here, tradition and innovation meet – to the delight of both the audience and the artists.
