Barnivalen

Barnivalen is our own festival within the festival for the younger generation. A musical, fun and diverse festival made for, by and with children and young people! This year, everything is also free!

Since Kvarten will be the venue for our new outdoor stage this year, it also means changes for Barnivalen. This year it will be free and even more inclusive!

The Barnival area in Magasinparken
This year, Barnivalen will be held in Magasinparken, right in the heart of the city and the festival, towards Kongsberg High School, while the concerts will take place in Festivalgata, just a quick stroll away. All events are outdoor events, and are suitable for both grandparents and strollers. And this year it is free for everyone, regardless of age!

Family concerts in Festivalgata
The new Barnivalen concept means that the actual concert program will take place in Festivalgata. Festivalgata is practically just a short walk from the Barnivalen area in Magasinparken.
