Tom Waits The Race

‍

Saturday, May 3rd, at 1:00 PM, the starting gun will be fired for Risør's very first Tom Waits run – an informal tribute to the poet of the bars and the dark side of life.

‍

With 10 dining venues on the map, local music and home-designed t-shirts, the whole city is invited to join us for an afternoon and evening out of the ordinary.

The event starts at Risør Hotel at 1:00 PM , where participants are given maps, t-shirts and their first stamp. From there, the route goes via the city's bars and eateries – with plenty of time to enjoy both food, drinks and the atmosphere – before the entire race culminates in concerts in Rådhusgata from 5:00 PM .

‍

The music program:

• 5:00 PM: Concert with Andreas Eriksen , known from Idol – local artist with a distinctive personality and presence.
• 18.00: The duo Mads and Kent provide further atmosphere.
• 19.00: Andreas Eriksen finishes with an extra set in the evening sun.

Participating locations: Brygga Restaurant, Park Cafe, Rådhusgata, Peterhead Pub, Promenaden, Stranden, China Palace, Chin Chin, Play Café, Kunstparken – all offering their own little surprises along the way.

‍

The talented people from Bar Events are on hand at Rådhusgata to show off their cocktail knowledge.

The T-shirts are specially designed for the occasion and can be purchased at the start – it's first come, first served, so get there early.
