A journey through artscape Nordland

Christmas weekend in Mosjøen 

In the first weekend of December, the town of Mosjøen invites you to a warm‑hearted Christmas experience! The friendly town decorates the charming wooden houses of its historic centre with lights, and fills its streets with music and elves. Explore booths where craftsmen and merchants offer their wares, warm yourself by the fire in a lavvo, and dine on traditional Norwegian Christmas fare. Når snøen har lagt seg finnes det knapt en finere julegate enn Sjøgata It all starts with a Wilderness Evening on Friday, where you are invited to savour a hearty wilderness stew in a lavvo, the tent of the Sámi reindeer herders. The evening is spicy with storytelling, and dessert is served with coffee brewed over the fire. Saturday is celebrated with a Christmas market, where stalls are filled with goods from local craftsmen, artists, farmers and food producers. It’s a great opportunity to find a unique gift for someone you love, or to treat yourself to something special. The real joy, however, is simply strolling through the historic Sjøgata street — lined with 19th‑century wooden houses — soaking up the atmosphere, visiting the gingerbread‑house exhibition, sipping a mug or two of gløgg (traditional mulled wine), or perhaps catching a movie at the outdoor cinema.
