Skifestivalen Blink
Welcome to this summer's big event in Sandnes and Gjesdal! Blinkfestivalen is a festival that has been held in Sandnes since 2006.
What happens during the year in our region? Having been Capital of Culture in 2008, both Stavanger and Sandnes are used to handling all types of events and delivering top-class events. In fact, the entire region comes together across municipal boundaries and works to make the events a success.
There are plenty of events to choose from; the big annual ones that most people are familiar with are e.g. Norway's largest food festival, Gladmat, the roller ski race Blink Skifestival, Maijazz, Stavanger Chamber Music Festival, running festivals such as Stavanger Marathon and Tre sjøersløpet, the cycling races Nordsjørittet and Tour of Norway, the strength test Trolljegerprøven, the music festivals Utopia, Mablis and Jærdagen & Jærnåttå, the chess tournament Norway Chess, Tomatfestivalen, Livsgledefestivalen, Egersund Visefestival and so on and so forth.
