About the festival

Protector cabinet

The Northern Lights Festival is fortunate to have H.K.H Crown Prince Haakon as our high patron. The patronage was extended at the end of 2020, and is valid until 31 December 2025

The Crown Prince last visited the festival in 2009 when he presided over the official opening. *

H.K.H. Crown Prince Haakon was supposed to visit the festival in 2024, but the visit had to be canceled due to severe weather and canceled flights.
On the visit, the Crown Prince was to attend the performance “Haíresis - to whom do you give your soul?” and visit Kvaløya nursing home in connection with the nursing home tour that the festival has dedicated to the Crown Prince Couple on the occasion of their 50th birthdays.

We warmly welcome the Crown Prince at a later date
