We are looking forward to Kaperuka 2025!
This year, Kaperuka has a packed schedule. program with lots of fun and frolic. As usual, the five-day program offers both large and small events.
There will be a circus, free concerts in the square, crab fishing, sailing ships, competitions, a cooking competition. Gold digging. Historical lectures at Backes. Motoring at Fern Sundes plass. Competitions. The Sea Monster. The Pirate Prize. Maritime exhibition, Culture Fair. Watch tours. "Food Court" Stalls with locally produced items and things and so on and so forth.
There will be several concerts this year. We highlight the Gryting family (see separate article about it), Bryggebandet from Kristiansand, MITRI, Spindsgudan and Kulturkjelleren at Farbrot.
As a result of feedback and evaluation, we have also come up with an event aimed at teenagers.
On Friday, the Gryting family and artist Adam Gryting, better known by the alias "lille Caeser", will play at Kulturhuset Backes. Over the past few years, he has seriously established himself as a household name in the world of popular music.
The North Sea's answer to Jack Sparrow
This year, like last year, it will be possible to hear coastal culture stories at Backes. Kaperuka has brought Håkon Reinertsen from Epoke on board. Epoke is part of the eminent "The Explorers Club".
There will be lectures by Norwegian and international speakers, and one of the people who will be talked about is Claus Kniphof, who was a pirate in Lister exactly 500 (!!!) years ago.
Also new this year is the day the Capercaillie is played.
– This year we are actually moving the Capercaillie from Sunday evening to Saturday night. This has been done in consultation with business operators in the city center. Then the shops will stay open at night, and it will be a real Capernaum night,
