DARK SEASON BLUES
During the weeks before the polar night, you can experience the "blue hour". In this twilight period, the light particles from the sun are bent by the atmosphere, creating a wonderful blue light that is reflected in the sometimes snow-covered landscape. The blue hour is strongest at the end of October, and people from all over the world come specifically to Svalbard to experience this special light.
Blue light and a serene atmosphere make Longyearbyen the perfect setting for a cosy blues festival. The festival marks the start of the dark season, and is held this year for the twentieth time in a row. During four days you can experience local, Norwegian and international blues artists create varied music within the genre. Longyearbyen is a small town, which creates an extra intimate music experience. Read more about the Dark Season Blues festival here.
