NAMSOS: – This year’s folk festival in Namdalen, entices the organizers.
– Now we can invite to a folk festival, and we hope it will be a nice tradition in the future, said mayor Frode Båtnes before he introduced the first band on Friday night – Lava.
History’s first edition of the Namsos Festival has been put on hold for two years due to the pandemic.
But Friday night the wait was over.
After two years of restrictions, there is no doubt that the Namdalings are eager to meet again. And they have done that on the opening day, where DumDum Boys ends day 1 of the Namsos Festival.
It has been a long time since there have been so many people gathered in the center of Namsos.
No wonder organizer Bård Hansen grins at the influx of spectators.
– There are 3,200 here, he says, very happy and relieved that the festival is now underway.
