BERGEN BOBLER

The Nordic Cider and Sparkling Festival - The most international cider festival in the north, and the only one of its kind.

On August 8th, 2026 USF Verftet in Bergen will host this bubbly event. With 40 producers and importers from all over the cider world.

The idea behind Bergen Bobler stems from a shared desire among Nordic cider festivals, including Nordic Craft Cider Festival in Sweden, Syrlig Siderfestival in Denmark, Fest i Kjeften in Norway, and Siiderifestivaali in Finland, to create a meeting point for international cider producers somewhere in the Nordic region. Naturally, Western Norway stood out as the ideal location, with Hallen and USF Verftet offering the perfect venue. We are happy to invite 1000 cidernerds and the cider curiose to join us!

The festival will have two sessions 13.00 -16.00 and 17.00-20.00.
