Qooqa Festival 2026

Qooqa Festival 2026
14–16 August | Akullinnguaq, south of Kangaatsiaq

Step into a story from Greenland’s past as Qooqa Festival 2026 brings history to life in the spectacular surroundings of Akullinnguaq Island.

Inspired by Ole Brandt’s acclaimed novel Qooqa, the festival invites you to travel back to an 18th-century hunting society—a time shaped by strong traditions, community, and profound choices. Follow the story of Qooqa and Mikisuluk, and experience the contrast between the expectations of revenge and the courage to choose a different path.

The festival offers:

Engaging presentations of Greenlandic cultural history
Living interpretations of traditions, rituals, and ways of life
Experiences in authentic surroundings where nature and storytelling merge
Activities and performances that bring history closer to the audience

Qooqa Festival is a unique opportunity to experience culture, history, and nature in harmony—and to become part of a story that still resonates today.

Experience the history. Feel the traditions. Become part of the story.
