Festival Mundial coming closer

On 27 and 28 June, the railway zone Tilburg is again transformed into Festival Mundial.

On 27 and 28 June Tilburg Spoorzone turns into a colorful festival with no less than 12 stages and 20's area. Crazy artists from every corner of the world travel to Tilburg for a great weekend of music, dance, theater, circus and delicious food! Besides all the performances on the stages, you can relax and listen to vinyl at the Crosley hangout on the beach-area, buy nice and fair products on the FeelGood Market and the Urban Farm, and dance at 'Onze Nachtclub' in the Hall of Fame. And those are just a few highlights of Festival Mundial 2015.

The Arts Festival of North Norway

Artists from around the globe gather under the midnight sun! A strange thought. Perhaps a beautiful dream. Every year during the last week of June, the dream becomes reality at the Arts Festival of North Norway in Harstad!

The festival was first held in 1965, and fifty years later we celebrate an international event of the highest calibre. Our role in the north is unique. We present, in one place, the opportunity to experience a rich diversity of cultural expression, both in the performing and visual arts. The festival fills the city to the brink with cultural activities, inviting the public to explore a jungle of exciting adventures.

The festival is founded upon core values based upon our mission to surprise and enlighten our audience, and to be inclusive, diverse and innovative. At a variety of venues you can meet people from across the generations and from nations around the world. 

The Arts Festival of North Norway is committed to offering children and young children the opportunity to experience art and culture in new ways. The festival is active throughout the year, collaborating with both northern and foreign artists and organizations. The Arts Festival of North Norway coordinates a grants programme for freelance professional groups and young artists, which continues to promote and develop art and culture througout the region.

Don´t miss out on our programme in 2015 – The Arts Festival of North Norway 2015 will take place from the 20th to 27th of June.
