Exciting Happenings in 2026

5. January 2026
Tjuvholmen continues to be one of Oslo’s most vibrant areas, and 2026 brings exciting news and events that put taste and cultural experiences in the spotlight.

Two New Restaurants Opening

Food enthusiasts can look forward to the opening of Lille Dilli, a place that promises authentic flavours from Indian cuisine through cocktails and small dishes. In addition, a completely new concept will launch, led by renowned chefs Björn Svensson, Øyvind Dalelv and Sven Erik Renaa – previously known from Galt, Schlägergården, Restaurant Fan and Statholdergaarden.

Foodie Festival

From 5–7 March, Tjuvholmen’s very own food and drink festival returns. The first tickets sold out quickly, but we’re happy to announce that more tickets will be released soon. During the Foodie Festival, you’ll enjoy a 5- or 7-course tasting experience across Tjuvholmen’s restaurants, with one dish and a paired drink at each venue. This is an exclusive culinary experience you won’t want to miss. Sign up for our newsletter to get updates on the next ticket release.

Midsummer at Tjuvholmen

Last year, we invited you for the very first time to celebrate Midsummer at Tjuvholmen with a summer concert in the Sculpture Park – and what a success it was! We want this to become a permanent tradition in the capital and will repeat the success in 2026. More information coming soon.

Free Sculpture Walks

Art lovers can explore Tjuvholmen’s iconic sculpture park through free guided sculpture walks. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the art that adorns the area, guided by Oslo expert Anne Berit Nestaas – completely free of charge. The walks start in March and run until October. Dates will be announced soon.

Fjord Oslo – The Light Festival is Back

After a short break, Fjord Oslo is finally back! This spectacular light festival transforms the waterfront promenade into a magical universe of light and colour. In 2024, over 170,000 visitors attended the festival, and we can’t wait to welcome the crowds again this year. From 5–8 November, Fjord Oslo will take place with this year’s theme: “Imagine Peace”.

We’re so excited for a new year – and to create unforgettable moments together along the waterfront!
