Abstract [en]

In this chapter we look at the role of nature in cultural events, and the role of event design in facilitating holistic experiences of nature and culture. Throughout history, human cultures have drawn inspiration from nature, and cultural events, such as community festivals, were inseparably linked to natural processes, life cycles and other manifestations of natural phenomena. Even though nature is routinely described as one of the main attractions in tourism and event sectors, it is rarely studied directly, especially in event studies. We base our study on the theoretical insights from the fields of event studies and nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation.  Empirically, our case is based on Norway, which currently experiences rapid growth in tourism flows as well as proliferation of a wide variety of outdoor events in its scenic natural landscapes. The empirical data comes from interviews with outdoor event managers as well as a visual analysis of the websites of cultural events in nature.
