The story

Roros Folk Festival in Roros

Roros Folk Festival describes itself as an intimate folk celebration in Roros, the historic mining town also home to the much larger February market Rorosmartnan. Held each June, it is a small, low-profile event with little documented history beyond its recurring dates and a handful of tourism listings.

Roros is best known for Rorosmartnan, the enormous February market that traces its roots to the eighteenth-century collapse of the town's copper-trading monopoly and now draws tens of thousands of visitors into the depths of Norwegian winter.
