traena music festival in norway

July 10-12, 2014
The Traena Music Festival is held annually in the municipality of Træna in Nordland county, Norway. The festival is held on the islands of Husøya and Sanna. The islands are only accessible by ferry boat from the mainland in Lurøy.

Venues have included an ancient cave, a church with blacked-out windows (to block out the Midnight sun which shines for 23 hours a day), and tents. The festival attracts many people from neighbouring communities who visit the camp to enjoy the music and unique nature of the festival.

Nearly everyone who lives in Træna is a volunteer worker during the festival. Day and night for several weeks they transform this industrial fishing island into a paradise.
