Gladmatfestivalen

It almost goes without saying; the Gladmad Festival takes place at the end of July and is visited by around 250,000 happy festival-goers every year. Every corner of Stavanger is used and many events take place during the festival.

Previously, there have been events where visitors could, among other things, learn to smoke sardines at Hermetikkmuseet and chili-eating competition in Upper Holmegate. There are always many stalls and then restaurants in town run special offers.

On the Main Stage there is entertainment and music and at a previous festival the highlight was artist Pia Myrvold's large edible artwork, which she created on the Main Stage.
