    The Market Square will in general be the centre of much activity, such as the Saami market during the weekend, The Norwegian Championship in Lasso Throwing on Saturday 4th February and The Reindeer Racing Championship on Sunday 5th February.


    In addition to this there will be Exhibitions at Tromsø museum, Saami films at Aurora Cinema and a wide range of activties for all age groups at Tromsø Library.
