Trøndelag Food Festival will be held in Trondheim August 1st - 3rd, 2024

Trondheim is emerging as one of the most interesting culinary destinations in Northern Europe. When visiting Trondheim the summer of 2024, make sure your timing is right. As Trøndelag Food Festival and Trondheim Brewery Festival begin on August 1st the city erupts into culinary activities. Foodies, baristas, families and beer brewing enthusiasts merge downtown to celebrate the food culture of Trøndelag. Throughout the event 250 000 people visit the festival sampling the vast array of flavours of the more than 200 local food producers present at the food festival. The food stands and stages are visually stunning, with decorations presenting old as well as modern Norwegian traditions and design. You may peruse the stands, which are organized by region, allowing you to taste mussels from the peninsula of Fosen and reindeer from the high plains of Røros.


Cooking classes & food courses

During the festival there are foraging, mixing, baking and cooking classes held at our partnership hotel Britannia Hotel, featuring the city’s best chefs, teachers and artisans. Learn about food preservation and fermentation, baking, seaweed and shellfish preparations, regional specialty foods and many more topics. The classes are popular as they teach people how to understand food traditions as well as new food trends using high quality local produce and practicing food sustainability.


Family activities

Trøndelag Food Festival also its own area dedicated to children and teens, where they can partake in all sorts of activities relating to farming, cooking seafood and exploring fresh produce. You can get on the smoothie bicycle and pedal your own blend of fruits and vegetables, you can learn how to make local salmon ceviche, or make your own waffles, or stuff your own sausage. The youth village motto is ‘learn by doing’, and the kids also get to experience where the food comes from and how it’s produced.
