Age limits

The festival takes place at various venues around Kongsberg, and therefore the age limits also vary.

The audience at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival
Concerts at KVARTEN

The age limit at Kvarten is 18 years. Valid ID must be presented. Guardianship arrangement for youth under 18 years of age, accompanied by a sober adult over 25 years of age, maximum two per guardian. Guardianship form must be submitted digitally in advance. We do not recommend minors at the concerts, as the concerts at Kvarten are primarily a party for adults.

The guardianship form can be filled in here. There are strict security guards at Kvarten who ensure that serving rules are followed, and there is zero tolerance for violations of these.

Guardianship form

A guardian is a sober adult over the age of 25 who confirms his role as guardian in our guardianship form. The guardian can take up to two children or young people under the age of 18 with them. The guardian form is filled in beforehand and registered by the festival, which has an overview of registered guardians at the entrance. Name/ID is displayed upon entry.
