Music and events throughout the year
Nordkyn Winter Festival
Held in Kjøllefjord at the beginning of March, Nordkyn Vinterfestival is a week filled with activities for the whole family. Includes shows, ski and skating activities, courses and concerts.
Chrisfestivalen
Arranged every June since 2002, the main venue for Chrisfestivalen is Foldalbruket. On the former fish drying floor, you can lean against solid wooden beams or enjoy the music sitting on painted fish crates with barrels for tables. You can also lean on solid beams while listening, or hit the wooden dance floor.
When you also feel the history coming through the walls, you experience a unique atmosphere that's not to be missed. The festival is known for a great mood and an enthusiastic audience.
The festival has become a gathering spot, with people coming back every year and especially if they have moved from Kjøllefjord.
