The story

Finnsnes i Fest in Finnsnes

Finnsnes i Fest is an annual music and community festival in Finnsnes, in the Senja and Midt-Troms region of northern Norway, held each July across two stages named for the town's main stage and its local newspaper sponsor. It draws performers and visitors from across Norway, though its founding history is not well documented publicly.

Finnsnes, a town in the Senja and Midt-Troms region of northern Norway, holds an annual music festival each July that its own organizers describe simply as a folk festival for all, a gathering meant to be accessible and appealing to a broad cross-section of visitors rather than a specialized event for any one audience or musical genre.
