Experience the seasons in Egersund
In Egersund, there are so many great things to do all year round. The cosy wooden buildings in the town centre are pleasant all year round, but especially during Julebyen in December when it is transformed into a Christmas Town, with cosy stalls, Christmas lights and everything that goes with Christmas. Summer is festival time with music and outdoor dining, autumn brings Octoberfest and a Halloween atmosphere, and Easter brings Easter activities. Last but not least, there are countless hiking opportunities and maritime experiences.
