Festivals and cultural events Spitzberg

Polarjazz Festival in Longyearbyen, the world's most northerly jazz festival, has established itself in just a few years as a benchmark quality festival for the country's finest musicians. The festival takes place in Longyearbyen, the largest town on Spitsbergen Island in the Svalbard archipelago. It's a special time to enjoy the polar nights and the rapidly lengthening days. Every trip has a financial and ecological cost, so while you're at it, stay as long as you can!
