Gladmat is the largest food festival in the Nordic region and one of the highlights of the summer in the Stavanger region. The festival fills the streets, quays and squares with aromas, flavours and experiences that delight young and old alike. Here you will find everything from local producers offering locally sourced ingredients to international cuisines that give the public a taste of the world. The atmosphere is informal and down-to-earth, with the opportunity to combine culinary delights with concerts, courses and activities for the whole family. For many, Gladmat is more than just a festival – it is an annual gathering that reflects the city's open and inclusive food and cultural traditions.
