The International Soul Children Festival 2025

English version

We are doing it again! We are thrilled to present this invitation to choirs, individuals and groups, for another Soul Children Festival in Oslo Spektrum Arena.

Our wish is to gather generations and nations to experience magical moments together. Our goal is to welcome you to be a part of our fellowship in God as we join together in communion. Our send-off is meant to bless you with inspiration, motivation and encouragement for the days yet to come.

The festival welcomes 

  • all types of choirs
  • associations, teams and groups
  • people of all ages

However, we recommend an age limit at ten years old. In fact, participants 16 years of age down to 10 must be accompanied by an adult. 

The festival begins Friday afternoon presenting a tremendous show: A Kick Off Party, and closes Sunday afternoon with our grand Soul Church Concert. Saturday afternoon is spectacular as all singers and participants are joining in our own parade, walking down the street of Karl Johan, heading for the University Square. Here, our own Festival Mass Choir and guests are singing the Gospel in an open air concert.
