Alver Fiskefestival, year by year

Every festival gets its own place here. Pages from earlier years are left exactly as they were — with the programme, the rules and the prizes that applied at the time.

2026

Hjelmås by the Osterfjord

21–23 August 2026 · three days

A course evening at Ljosheim community hall, a species fishing competition in the Osterfjord and a family day on the quay. Organised by Alver Havfiskeklubb together with Hjelmås Handelslag, Ungdomslaget Heimhug and Bygdelaget 5915.

The archived site is the festival site frozen on 23 August 2026, with programme, rules, prizes and sign-up exactly as they were then.

2025

Isdalstø

3–4 May 2025 · the very first

A ten-hour species competition for the keenest on the Saturday, and a children's and family competition on the Sunday. The boats set out at 08.00 from Isdalstø, using a catch-reporting system built for the occasion — with catch and release for everything not destined for the table. The event was a success, and the foundation for 2026 becoming something much bigger.

The festival had no website of its own in 2025 — this page was written afterwards, from Alver Havfiskeklubb's own round-up.
