Kjerringvik is a small coastal village on the Vestfold shoreline between Sandefjord and Larvik, with two harbours, smooth rock coastline and a quieter feel than its neighbour Ula three kilometres to the southwest.
The village is best known for its annual summer concert tradition. deLillos, one of Norway's most beloved rock bands since the 1980s, play here every year on the last Saturday of July. Frontman Lars Lillo-Stenberg has a cabin in the village and treats the gig as a homecoming. Music critics have called Kjerringvik the country's cosiest concert venue. The intimate outdoor setting, warm summer evenings and a band that has been playing together for four decades make it a highlight of the Vestfold summer calendar. Tickets sell through Ticketmaster and Kjerringvik Vel.
Outside concert season, Kjerringvik is a gateway to some of the best public coastal recreation in the region. Oslofjordens Friluftsrad manages large shoreline areas between here and Ula that are open to everyone. The coastal hiking trail runs through, connecting the village to beaches and rocky headlands in both directions. The sheltered harbours at Kjerringvik Nordhavna and Kjerringvik Sydhavna attract pleasure boats in summer.
