Game culture festival Nordsken will also be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, where it invites everyone who like popular culture, entertainment, and games in all forms.
Pia Enroth, project manager for Nordsken had this to say,
Covid has meant that there is a huge need to physically meet. Everyone we talk to now is extremely eager to visit Nordsken and to all our plans for the event, so we really believe that this will be something not to be missed.
The main attraction during the event will be the Swedish championship in Cosplay, which is a fantastic show to witness. During one of the evenings, a concert by Sabina Zweiacker will also be performed at the newly built culture house Sara, with music from The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Witcher and others.
