About this event
Oslo Mela turns City Hall Square into a free celebration of world cultures across three days of music, dance, food and family activities. A large outdoor main stage hosts international and Norwegian acts, complemented by classical concerts at the Nobel Peace Center and evening club programmes around the centre. With free admission throughout, it is one of Norway's most accessible major festivals and a vibrant end-of-summer highlight.
