Oslo Badstukor (Oslo Sauna Choir) and saxophonist and sauna host Dario Fariello will perform from 19:30. There will also be a communal sing-along (see below). Norway’s Minister of Culture Lubna Jaffery will light the bonfire. This year’s bonfire is shaped like an enormous bird, identified as a meadow pipit. Tip: Arrive early to get a spot at Sukkerbiten!

FREE and OPEN to everyone! No ticket required. Welcome!

The lyrics for the sing-along are HERE. Watch the choir rehearse and get inspired HERE.

9:00–9:45 PM: Concert with Michaela Antalová & Adrian Myhr. Slovak flautist Michaela Antalová and Norwegian double bassist Adrian Myhr combine folk music traditions from different countries.
