Nordsjøfestivalen i Farsund - where people meet folk During the last weekend of august, musicians from the countries surrounding the North Sea gather in the small town of Farsund. The festival keenly focuses on the interaction between culture and audience; where people meet folk. Nordsjøfestivalen i Farsund has an intimate feel to it; the audience will experience the musicians as artists, storytellers and participants. The festival constructs a programme that allows both professionals and amateurs to perform in front of an eager audience and different styles are presented, from avantgarde to popular. All musicians live in the same hotel, which creates a pretty unique vibe.
