Culture Night 2027
The Northern Lights Festival and Gáisi – Sámi Language Centre are excited to show you what we’ve been working on. Tonight, music fills Skansen once again, Gáisi offers a crash course in Sámi, and we look back on 40 years of the festival!

For many years, the Northern Lights Festival’s lunch concerts were held at Skansen, hosted by our fantastic volunteers. The concerts eventually became so popular that we had to move them to Rødbanken – tonight, we invite the Conservatory of Music back to fill Skansen with beautiful sounds in celebration of our 40th anniversary!
Do you find Sámi words a bit of a tongue-twister? Gáisi is here to help! Join us for a quick crash course in Sámi and get ready to understand a little more.
