| Harstad is in the
heart of North Norway, on Norway’s largest island – Hinnøya.
The town is a strategic centre for the entire region and the business
centre for Sør-Troms and northern Nordland County. It is called
the Cultural Town in the North and offers an abundance of cultural activities
all year long – and especially one week in June during the North
Norwegian Festival of Culture (Festspillene i Nord-Norge). Then the town
is characterised by a swarming street life and you can hear music in the
pubs, churches and concert hall. A multicultural meeting in an exciting
interaction in the Midnight Sun.
