This festival, which is held in honor of St Olav, started in 1962 and is the biggest church and culture festival in Norway. It takes place every year at the end of July and beginning of August. Most events during the week are held outside the Nidaros Cathedral. The most important day of the week is July 29th, the day Olav Haraldsson died in the battle at Stiklestad in 1030. To commemorate this day there’s a vigil on the night between the 28th and the 29th that starts with a service in the cathedral. In addition, there are concerts (both indoor and outdoor), lectures, exhibitions, and many other activities for both adults and children.
