Why Farsund? 

The Norwegian archipelago is known for its white wooden houses, fresh seabreeze and the beautiful fjords. You’ll also find some well-known local landmarks such as Lista fyr and Nordberg fort. Farsund is a typical southern town, offering a unique history and culture.

Kaperdagene

If you´re planning to stay at our hotel in Farsund in July, you should consider attending Kaperdagene. This is a festival with a long history and many activities.

Every year, Farsund and Lista celebrate a history that dates back to the Napoleon War. At the beginning of the 19th century, pirates ravaged the waters of Lista and there was one naval battle in particular that made its mark.

In 1808, a British ship loaded with gold made its way through a storm and ended up in the waters outside Farsund. Here, Captain Tønnes and his ship were waiting for someone to plunder. A huge naval battle took place, which is recreated every year at the festival called Kaperdagene.

This festival happens every year in the middle of July and is a great experience for both adults and children, with concerts, games, and shows.

American Festival 

The American Festival is also a fun event to attend if you´re planning to travel to Farsund during the summer.

Back in the days, a lot of Norwegians emigrated and went to the US. What’s special with Farsund and Lista is that so many moved back home after a while, bringing a piece of the American culture with them.

The area has several streets with American names, stores and cars. Every year, in late june, they throw a festival in the small town of Vanse, in honor of their strong affiliation to America. There are concerts and shows, a drive-in movie theater and even a parade.
