Skalldyrfestivalen 2023 / MANDAL

Skalldyrfestivalen is a festival rich in tradition that is constantly developing into the food festival that was envisioned when it started 30 years ago.
The entire center of Mandal will be transformed into one large festival area, with a bustling life and a southern atmosphere for 4 days to the end. Always the second weekend in August!
Close to 60,000 people visit Mandal during these days. The whole of Bryggegata is filled with restaurant tents, entertainment, concerts, funfair, food market, exhibitors, cookery school for children, WC in shrimp peeling, street food, street musicians, sales stalls and, not least, fantastic shopping offers in the city's shops open at night and much, much more!
In 2023, we offer lots of tasty dishes from the sea combined with the best of local ingredients and a range of exotic flavors with influences from around the world. This, in combination with good entertainment from both national and local artists, ensures that this will be a memorable experience.

WELCOME TO MANDAL!
