Vegeterians are the lucky ones - especially at the Vegetarfestival, which is also part of the European Green Capital.
If you bring your kids, this is the place to go on the weekend: Norway‘s largest children‘s festival.
Check out this unbelievable art project of books being released year 2114, being made of the trees growing in „Nordmarka“ a century after they are written.
The first biennale in Oslo of international form has a focus on art in public spaces.
Want to combine the confernce with exploring nature and doing sport? Ecotrail is a marathon through the city and the forest surrounding the city centre.
Any knights among UFGC19 attendees? If so, make sure to stop by the Medieval festival at Akershus fortress.
The format is interesting food and drinks (you decide what you want) and a menu of questions, leading into ideas about future urban living, sustainability, and life in general. You will sit one-to-one, with somebody for 2 hours.
