The story
Krakeslottfestivalen in Stonglandseidet/Senja
Kraakeslottfestivalen is a traveling music festival on the Norwegian island of Senja that relocates to a new site each year, born in 2004 at the historic fish factory Kraakeslottet on Boevaer. Organized for 20 years by the volunteer association Foreninga Kulturslottet, which returns all surplus funds to musicians and the event itself, the festival began moving annually to new Senja locations after two decades based at Boevaer.
On the rugged Norwegian island of Senja, Kraakeslottfestivalen carries forward a music tradition born in 2004 at Kraakeslottet, a historic fish factory on Boevaer whose name still identifies the festival two decades later.
