About the events
Dark Season Blues
Dark Season Blues (24 to 27 Oct) Â is an annual blues music festival held in late October which marks the onset of the dark season when daylight and the sun begin to depart Svalbard for four winter months.
The four-day festival showcases performances by local, Norwegian, and international musicians across various venues throughout Longyearbyen. More information about the festival here:Â https://www.svalbardblues.com/21825/artistslipp-dark-season-blues-2024/
Hallo-Week!
Spend the spookiest time of the year at 78 degrees north!
HalloWeek! (29 Oct to 2 Nov) is our annual celebration of Halloween, where we offer movie nights, game nights, a spooky sightseeing walk, and a cozy Halloween dinner on the last evening, during which we will have an abundant buffet dinner prepared by us. Nights of laughter, fun, and also thrill!Â
Here are the programs we have prepared for you that will make you quake in your boots just before the witching hour:
29. October, Tuesday, 19:00
Movie Night
What’s the most typical thing you can do during Halloween?! Watch a horror movie- of course. We’ll start the hallo-week by watching the scariest movie of all time. It sure will be fun, with the perfect Halloween atmosphere. We provide you with the most frightening film. Be careful, it’s dark outside so you never know who or what could creep into our hostel and climb inside to haunt you.
We’ll make use of our big projector and the TV room. The movie starts at 19:00.
The fee is 30,- NOK per person. The fee will be used for snacks and drinks!Â
30. October, Wednesday, 19:00
Spooky guided tour to the scary corners of the town
What better thing to do on Halloween than going outside for a walk through the city? We will use the eerie atmosphere in the darkness to discover Nybyen and Longyearbyen. Get a unique city walk during the darkest time of the year! Be careful not to lose your nerves … but do not worry much, as the lady Aurora might guide us on our walk while she graces the sky above us!
The ideal route for this tour is Nybyen-Mine 2B-Huset-Cemetery-Church-Town. We will tell you not only spooky stories but also historical facts about our little town.Â
We can end the tour with a short and relaxed visit to one of the pubs in town.
Since it is generally dark in Longyearbyen, a reflective vest is a must when walking around. You can purchase the vest at the reception.
The fee for the spooky sightseeing walk is 185 NOK per person. The tour starts at 19:00 and we meet up on the main stairs of the hostel. The tour will take approximately 2 hours. Dress warmly! Otherwise, we have to get Casper to give you warm hugs 
31. October, Thursday, 19:00
Game Night
In between all our scary events, we will have a calm evening sitting comfortably together to play some board or card games…. But who knows, it’s Halloween. So, you never know what could happen. :P
We encourage you to bring some board games with you if you can! What about introducing us to a game that’s original to where you come from? That would be cool!
Planned games are Charades, Jenga, Board games, Card games, and an interesting Quiz on Kahoot!
No fee, just bring some snacks we can share with others! 19:00 at the coffee room.
1 November - Happy Halloween!
Spooky (but cozy) Halloween dinner buffet
What’s Halloween without delicious food and great company? We’ll be wrapping up the exciting week with a warm and cheerful evening filled with tasty treats, wonderful friends, and a joyful (maybe a little spooky?) atmosphere!
The menu in plan (tentative):
- Sausage fingers
- Filipino Spring Rolls
- CookiesÂ
- Legendary Home-made Pork Adobo
- Legendary Home-made Korean Fried ChickenÂ
- and more!
Â
It’s the Halloween! So you are to dress up to your Halloween character of the year. Do not forget to bring it with you :) Dinner Fee: 195,- per person. We, the staff will be doing the food! Drinks can be purchased at the reception.
- For each different Halloween event, we will require you to register. Please send us an email specifying which of the events you would want to participate in, so we have the list!
- Please remember that on the last day of our hallo-week, a Halloween dinner will be held, so we encourage you to dress up to another character apart from yourself, if you can, it’d be FUN!
- To those participating in the Halloween dinner, please give us your allergy information upon registration.
- Encourage your friends to come! It’d be cool to spend your Halloween in the darkest place, with the coolest people! :)
