Storytelling festival

In Burträsk, we're kicking off Storytelling Festival Week on October 10 with Allan Edvall and a soup dinner!

A storytelling café with the theme "Against the Grain." The event will feature life stories and other tales from Skellefteå residents who participated in a series of oral storytelling sessions this fall.

"A Mass of B" is a musical story about two brothers who like each other, even though the younger brother seems to outdo his older brother in almost everything. He's always happy, has at least ten good friends, and is an incredible bandy player.

What story are we going to hear today? – Well, I actually don’t know! The story spinner is spinning, and whichever one it stops on—that’s the one we’ll hear. Ages 4–7, accompanied by an adult. Presented by: Theresa Eriksson

The farmer and artist Karl-Bertil Stenmark (1912–1989) lived most of his life in Gummark. In the large country kitchen, he spent his evenings and nights carving wooden figures and painting pictures.

The processing of tar was one of the side jobs of the common people in the past. It also led to an economic boom and was a product of great importance to the merchants in Skellefteå.
