The Tromsø International Church Festival is an annual festival that takes place between October and November. The festival has a strong focus on music and culture within a church context, and it has established itself as an important part of the local community since its inception. The event includes an extensive program that presents Sami, Kven, Norwegian and other music, as well as dance, film, lectures and conversations. The festival takes place in Tromsø Cathedral and other locations in the city.
The festival collaborates with the Northern Lights Festival for production and offers a platform for both local and international artists. There is an emphasis on creating an inclusive atmosphere, and many of the events are free to the public. This provides a unique opportunity to experience concerts in a church room, which contributes to the festival's unique character. Tickets for some events can be purchased via Ticketco.
