Boat owners will be on hand to showcase and talk about their boats, alongside exhibitions, demonstrations and hands-on workshops at Torvet.

If the classic boats from the 1950s to the 1980s are a design adventure, the same is true on land. At the retro market during Risør Classic, you’ll find furniture, interior design and other items from the same era that characterise the boats in the harbour. Here you’ll find exhibitions, sales and great finds from a period when Nordic design left its mark both at sea and in the living room.
