UKA is the largest cultural festival in Norway and is held biannually by volunteer students from Trondheim. In 2019, the festival is set to be held for the 50th time. In 2015, 1700 students did volunteer work, while 90,000 event tickets were sold. The name "UKA" translates to "the week", although it now lasts for the better part of a month, with events including concerts, theatre, seminars and more. UKA was established in 1917 by students studying at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH, now part of NTNU) in an attempt to improve the financial situation within the students' community in Trondheim. In 1917, the festival mainly consisted of a revue, which was arranged every other year except the mid-war years. Starting with scarce resources, UKA has been in constant growth and is today the largest Norwegian cultural festival with more concerts and entertainment than ever before. Although the festival now features big-name artists, the organizers still consider revue, UKErevyen, as the "heart" of the festival. More information...
