Frognerparken is Norways most visited tourist attraction, so we are expecting to entertain quite a big crowd of breathing people this sunday.
Other Jam Spots

Norway is a monarchy. Wether you like it or not. Our king likes gay people, and muslims, and we get to play frisbee in his garden.

FOREST LAKE JAMSPOT
Beautiful, fresh and green. Great for a cooling down in between the jams

Oreilly´s beer hole is close by.
Green grass in many ways.

I´ll do my best to set you up in a spare room or a couch. Otherwise, you’ll have many Airbnbs around, some reasonably affordable hostels and tons of options on the other end of the scale. Check out the suggestions in the VIKING JAM map.
Free parking most places outside the central 10-15min by metro.
Free camping many places and very close to some of the jam spots.
