The Nannestad Festival is our local community’s celebration of itself and all of us who live here. The festival is held in the heart of Nannestad mid-June every year, simultaneously with the Nannestad Handball Cup.
The festival has its 40th anniversary this year, and attracts about 10,000 visitors.
Our goal is that the Nannestad Festival should be a festival by, for, and about our local community. The festival is the best opportunity of the year to show and get to know everything Nannestad has to offer when it comes to businesses, culture, sports, and volunteer activity. In 2024, we will have a stall street that includes local businesses, locally grown food, and local artisanship; visitors will be able to meet and talk to local politicians, organizations, and associations at their stands; there will be concerts and talks from the main stage, as well as a diversity parade and the traditional fairground; and during the weekend, local heroes will be on stage all day long to provide the audience with entertainment.
Welcome to our festival!
The Nannestad Festival is run by the volunteers of the Nannestad Festival Association, which is a member organization that may be joined by all local associations, political parties, businesses, and other participants belonging to the municipality of Nannestad.
The Board is elected at the annual meeting, and it shall include representatives from volunteer groups, local businesses, and other interest groups. Day-to-day operations are carried out by the Festival Administration, which is elected by the Board.
