What is Vårlys?
Vårlys is a Burning Man-inspired, participatory event, located at Herøya in Steinsfjorden. We invite you to co-create a magical weekend on an island in the majestic Norwegian landscape. Vårlys is based on the 10 principles of Burning Man. Everything you experience at the event is provided by other participants like yourselves. The organization does not operate with a profit, and the entire event is based on volunteer work.
