Events coming up on the Jøssingfjord dance terrace Magma Geopark has rebuilt a wooden dance terrace located in Jøssingfjord, Sokndal. The wooden platform can be used for place to have a picnic, enjoy the view or small scale events. Historically there has been a similar terrace located in the same point. When the Jøssingfjord valley was a place where power plant and mine workers lived, there was dancing events organised on this wooden "plattning". To celebrate the opening, two musical events will be organised in Jøssinfjord in May. The official opening will be happening on the 22nd of May, with harmonica/guitar duo Kjell Arvid and Alf. See the Facebook event for more information: https://www.facebook.com/events/1126101017434102/ Inspired by nature - classical concert with musicians Jolanda Ojanen (flute) and Iida-Alina Poijarvi (cello) will be performing in the same location 28th of May. The repertuar will include nature inspired music and more information about the event can be found from the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1006865006069730/ Hope to see you in Jøssingfjord, feel free to share the word about the events!
