15. Hamsun-days in Hamarøy. The Hamsun-days started in 1982, and since then the festival has grown steadily and is now a cornucopia of literature, theatre, concerts, exhibitions and off-course social gathering. 30 years, a small jubilee, so surely the Organizing Committee will do it's best to put up an exiting programme and we'll all have terrific days! Please find here the official website of the festival: www.knuthamsun.no
