This is an anual summer event in Kongsberg that takes place during the 1st week of July every year. The jazz festival always starts on the first wednesday in July and lasts for four days. This year was from the 6th until the 9th of July. You can check it here for more information.
I always look forward to this event, not because of the Jazz music (since im not really into Jazz) but because this is the only time when Kongsberg becomes alive!!!.. For four days Kongsberg is transformed from a VERY quiet to a VERY busy town :D. You will see many more people on the streets than usual. The road above is closed for seating and a stage erected where various artists perform where you can see for free. Around the town you can see profesional artists, street performers (get yourself a caricature) and buy various nick nack from street vendors.
This Pic was taken last year
On the other side of town in the town square you can see the Tubaloon. According to hubby Tubaloon is a big white inflatable acoustic sculpture with a stage.
These Tubaloon pictures were taken one day before the festival began. I intended to take a picture today but it was raining so i think i will take some pics later. We will see :D.
