\n\t\t\t\tThe Arctic Arts Festival is the musical prelude to the Northern Norwegian summer. Come to Harstad for a summer festival featuring music from all over the world.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Ever since 1965, the Arctic Arts Festival has been taking advantage of the long June days to welcome festival-goers. It’s Northern Norway’s premier festival, featuring the widest range of music, and combining high artistic standards with diversity and accessibility. The event always takes place in the last week in June, from Midsummer Day onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival incorporates all aspects of the arts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No festival in Northern Norway covers a wider range than this one. Every year, around 500 different artists perform at around 100 different events, and through the years, such diverse artists as Zap Mama, Bajofondo, Ute Lemper, Lory Andersson and the famous jazz singer Patti Austin have all performed at the festival, along with Jan Garbarek and the superstar of Balkan music, Goran Bregovic. Every year, the festival presents a new, inclusive, diverse and innovative programme covering a wide range of genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
