Both the [[Tromsø International Film Festival]] and [[Nordlysfestivalen]] (lit. 'the [[Aurora (astronomy)|Aurora Borealis]] Festival'), a classical music festival, are arranged in January. The end of that month is marked by the 'Day of the Sun' (''Soldagen''), when the sun finally appears above the horizon after the [[Polar Night]], which is celebrated, mainly by children. The International Day of the [[Sami People]] is celebrated at the [[University of Tromsø]] and the city hall on 6 February every year. Tromsø's Latin American Festival, [[No Siesta Fiesta]], is held at the end of February. It started in 2007 and showcases "the best of Latin America" in Northern Norway with film, dance, music, art, seminars, debates, markets, and a street Samba parade. Every autumn the [[Insomnia Festival]] for electronic music is hosted. It is one of the largest and most important festivals for electronic music and techno culture in Norway.

The [[Bukta Tromsø Open Air Festival]], held in June and July, is a popular music festival. The Bukta festival is mainly a rock festival, but also features other kinds of modern music. The festival takes place in Telegrafbukta, a park on the south-western part of the Tromsøya island. Other popular cultural summer events among the population of Tromsø is the [[Karlsøy Municipality|Karlsøy]] festival and the [[Riddu Riddu]] festival, both held in the region surrounding the city.
