An essential and cherished part of the Festspillene vibe is the annual parade with the Norwegian Army Band.
We always expect entertaining music and surprises as The Norwegian Army Band enters Harstad´s streets. This year, the parade concerts will be led by the excellent Jazz trumpeter Erik Eilertsen. Meet up is at Generalhagen on Storgata. The corps marches from 12:15 through the city streets to the concert arena outside the university, located on the harbor front.
