The story

Alta Soul and Blues Festival in Alta

Alta Soul and Blues Festival is a soul and blues music event held in Alta, a town in Norway's far north known for the aurora borealis, midnight sun and as the finish line of the Finnmarkslopet sled dog race. Detailed program, history and dates for the festival could not be independently confirmed in available sources.

Alta is best known internationally for two things largely unrelated to music: its position as one of the best places in Norway to see the aurora borealis, and its role as the start and finish point of Finnmarkslopet, Europe's longest sled dog race.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Alta sits well above the Arctic Circle in Finnmark county, a region defined by extremes of light and darkness, and a dedicated soul and blues festival there would place American roots music genres in an unusually northern setting compared with the blues festivals more commonly found in continental Europe or North America

02

The mystery stays covered

Available research turned up general Norwegian blues festival context and confirmation that Alta hosts music events, but did not surface a verifiable official festival website, founding history or program details specific to Alta Soul and Blues Festival, so claims about its particular format cannot be made with confidence
