Third annual Kystens dag (Coast Day)

Kystens dag (Coast Day) will be held this year for the third year in a row. “It is inspiring to see how coastal Norway comes together in a volunteer effort to celebrate its coast,” said political adviser Kari-Anne Opsal. She will open Kystens dag in Bergen, which this year coincides with the 30th anniversary of Torgdagen (Market Square Day).

Kystens dag is being held in several places along the coast. The main celebration this year is in Bergen, where Kystens dag will coincide and add to the celebration of Torgdagen’s 30th anniversary.

The Fyrtårnprisen (Lighthouse Prize) is awarded during the event and there will be a number of activities that in various ways celebrate both business activities and culture along the coast. Big celebrations will also be held in Oslo and Brønnøysund. In Brønnøysund and Oslo Kystens dag has become a coastal festival lasting three days from start to finish.
