Karlsøyfestivalen

Karlsøyfestivalen has been held since 2000 on the island of Karlsøya, in Karlsøy municipality in Troms, roughly ninety minutes by road and ferry from Tromsø. Alongside its music programme it includes film screenings, debates and guided tours, carrying an activist spirit centred on resisting a profit- and competition-driven society and on defending rural areas and the environment. The festival cultivates a friendly atmosphere combining music, art, nature, local food and family activities.
