Øya is a boutique festival held in the Medieval Park in Oslo, a beautiful spot surrounded by the Oslo fjord to the south, the Ekeberg Hill to the east, and the ever-expanding Oslo skyline to the west.
On the premises you’ll find, among other things, the ruins of the Maria Church, dating back to the 11th century. The Medieval Park is also the place where the capital of Norway was founded a thousand years ago.
The Oslo city centre is only a short walk from the festival, which creates an exciting rendezvous between nature and culture. Audience and artists are presented with an area of trees, green grass and water, accompanied by stages and small shops serving drinks and food – prepared, in fact, by the best young chefs of Oslo.
