Throughout the year many people are working to realize the festival.
When Riddu Riđđu in 2009 was designated as a National festival it became a year-round festival. This means that we can work for indigenous people through the whole year.
8.-12. july 2026
This year it is the national year of languages and Riddu Riđđu has given room to the Sami languages in the program. Did you know there are ten Saami languages?
Every year the festival brings a northern indigenous people to the festival. The Norwegian department of foreign affairs has given Riddu Riđđu 1 million to expand this work.
This is a new collaboration between Riddu Riđđu and Summer @ North Troms. Friday 12th July the local youngsters can show off. The artists are selected by Summer @ Northern Troms and shows variations of musical talents in the region.
