Lofotr Viking Festival 2022

18 January 2022

It will be a Lofotr Viking festival 2022 from 3. – 7. August in 2022. The festival’s theme is trade and cultural exchange. 


The theme has been chosen on the basis that the Vikings had contacts across cultures and several of our objects in the exhibition refer precisely to this.

We want to highlight trade and cultural exchange during the festival. Do you have a stand, activity, a lecture, or another program that can fit our Viking Festival – please contact us at vikingfestival@lofotr.no

More information about the festival itself will come later.
