Christmas in Bergen
From late November to Christmas, Bergen hosts more than a hundred Christmas concerts in churches, the Grieg Hall and other venues across the city and region, along with Gingerbread City (Pepperkakebyen), the Bergen Christmas market and Festival of Lights (Lysfesten).
A city of music and culture
Bergen has a varied entertainment scene, from world-class music and theatre to football matches at Brann Stadium and the Bergen City Marathon. The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1765, is one of the world’s oldest symphony orchestras, and Den Nationale Scene, founded in 1850, was Norway’s first permanent theatre. The city is also home to a national opera company, the Norwegian national company of contemporary dance, a lively jazz and blues scene and a House of Literature, with a full programme of talks, readings and lectures.
Artists such as Kygo, Alan Walker, Ylvis, Kings of Convenience, Röyksopp and Kurt Nilsen all come from Bergen.
Bergen was also the home of composer Edvard Grieg. His home, Troldhaugen, is open to the public and hosts concerts, including lunchtime concerts in summer.
Where to go
The Grieg Hall is the region’s main concert venue. Ole Bull Scene, USF Verftet, Kulturhuset i Bergen and Forum Scene host everything from jazz and rock to stand-up, and big outdoor concerts take place at Koengen and Bergenhus Fortress in summer.
