Karlsøyfestivalen wants to create a participatory festival, and a lively meeting place where everyone who comes can create, play, discuss, learn and experience together. Everything that happens during this week in August, we create together.
The idea behind the participant festival is that we create a culture where everyone contributes and pulls together, in addition to having fun and being pleasant. At the group meetings every day, we find out how to solve everything that needs to be solved to create a festival. In other words; within each group, we find out how much work will be done on everyone. When many people participate and contribute, there is not so much work for each individual.
ANY are participants and pay one price (NOK 600) for the whole week and that includes simple breakfast and dinner in addition to all activities, concerts and other experiences. Children and young people under 18 are free.
In the kitchen and serving group, we prepare good food together with skilled people from the best ingredients available. In this group we also collect some of the good growth that is found on the island. And this will be food both for the communal meals and for sale. In addition, someone has to sell food in the evening during the hours the sale lasts.
Do you want to help make fun days together with children and young people? In this group you can be creative, go for walks, cook over a fire, dance, paint, make music and do lots of other fun!
We have to prepare places to shelter from the rain, put a tarpaulin on the stage, set up lavvos for people to sleep in and get trees for firewood.
If you like to build, fix and be practical, if you like to be outside and work with your hands and body, then join this group!
In this group, you can help arrange so that it will be a good environment for all of us. Above all, we want to be a green festival! In addition, the festival house needs a wash once in a while.
Do you have ideas on how we can facilitate that as many people as possible are as environmentally friendly as possible? Then we will be happy if you sign up for this group.
Make everyone who comes to the island feel welcome! At the gate, in the office and all around. In this group, you help provide information about ferry routes or serving rules, take care of the participants in different ways and organize the breakfasts and general meetings.
In this group, you can also be used as a potato, so if you are ready for a bit of everything - welcome to the group!
