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 and we are located in Magasinparken!

The Barnival area in Magasinparken

The Children's Day is held in Magazine Park, right in the heart of the city and the festival, towards Kongsberg High School, while the concerts take place in Festivalgata, just a quick stroll away. All events are outdoor events, and are suitable for both grandparents and strollers. Everything is park for 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. There will be concerts here on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
