Set across six indoor and outdoor stages, the festival delivers a diverse lineup: pop, rock, blues, funk, soul, with live bands and DJs, street theatre, and culinary delights from food trucks. With programming for all ages and a special “Talent on Stage” showcase, it unites the community in a vibrant celebration of music and culture, all by the seaside.

  • Multiple indoor and outdoor stages
  • Live music (pop, rock, jazz, funk, blues, soul)
  • DJ sets and local talent showcases
  • Street theatre and kids’ programming
  • Food trucks and local vendors

It’s designed for all ages and brings together the community in the scenic, artistic town of Bergen near the coast.
