Poulsbo, commonly referred to as"Little Norway on the Fjord," is full of breathtaking scenery and a great variety of attractions. Nowhere in the Pacific Northwest will you find this combination for visitors to enjoy in a weekend or for an extended stay. Nestled in a valley between majestic Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges, this authentic Norwegian community invites you to experience nature's beauty, Scandinavian hospitality and old world charm. Combining that heritage with friendly businesses makes this area an enriching and captivating place to visit.

Explore the heart of Poulsbo on Front Street with its wonderful old murals, world famous bakeries, arts and crafts galleries, and specialty shops. Poulsbo also has several additional shopping areas that range from "big box" stores to small hometown shops in Poulsbo Village, along Highway 305 and Viking Avenue, and the Olhava area. Poulsbo hosts annual ethnic events such as Viking Fest, Scandia Midsommarfest and Yule Fest. See our event calendar for those dates.
