Each summer, the beautiful island of Risøya plays host to the Skjærgårds Music & Mission Festival.
Organized by Stiftelsen Skjærgårdsgospel, this Christian music festival is tailored towards youth between 15 and 30 years old, with a strict no-drug policy.
Since its inception in 1981, this event has seen unparalleled growth - welcoming more people from near and far each year.
The renowned artists Kirk Franklin, Michael W. Smith, Sigvart Dagsland, Andraé Crouch, Jerusalem, and Stryper have all graced the festival with their presence in past years.
Furthermore, each year brings new speakers and seminar presenters who motivate young Christians to stay strong in faith despite tumultuous times.
