Last, but not least, we must not forget all the festivals! In Bergen, we grab every opportunity to throw a party, whether it is big or small. This has resulted in more than 50 different festivals being organized in Bergen every year. The largest festivals in Bergen are Bergenfest, Nattjazz, Bergen International Film Festival and Bergen Food Festival. There are also a number of smaller festivals such as Vill Vill Vest, Borealis, Bergen Design Festival and Grieg in Bergen. 

Tailor-make the entertainment to suit your program 

Most large venues offer group tickets to their events. You can also use a local organizer and professional partner to plan the entertainment to suit your program. If you are looking to book classical musicians, Musica Nord can assist you.

The event organisers can also assist you if you are looking to host a private concert for example at Troldhaugen, the Home of the Composer Edvard Grieg, book a band or a DJ, or spice up the event with Bergens traditional drummer brigade called "Buekorps".
