UKA - Norway's Largest Cultural Festival
UKA is a traditional, yet inventive, cultural festival. A phenomenon to many, it serves as a holiday in the middle of the fall term. Every other year fireworks light up the sky above Studentersamfundet, Trondheim's Student Society, to kick off what 1700 students have volunteered their time to achieve.
The student festival started off as a revue theater with the opening show "Baccarat" in 1917. The purpose was to bolster the Student Society’s economy, a place of sanctuary, and also a workplace, for thousands of Trondheim’s students. The show was put up for a full week, hence the name of the festival (“UKA” = “the week”). The modern day UKA lasts for 25 days, and sold more than 100 000 tickets in 2021, making it the largest cultural festival in Norway.
UKA puts up everything from concerts with international artists such as Jay-Z, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Franz Ferdinand and David Guetta to sophisticated sushi and wine tasting classes. And last, but in no way least, the traditional revue theater.
A lot of Trondheim’s residents have a close relationship to UKA, either through volunteering or as spectators. UKA aims to spread the student spirit to its visitors, and prominently affects the entire city throughout the weeks of October.
From October 5th to 29th 2023 the students of Trondheim invite you to the 102th UKA festival.
