Help bring a Thomas Dambo troll to Poulsbo
A world-class giant sculpture celebrating Nordic heritage, public art, and the spirit of our community.
Neighbors building something extraordinary together
Friends of the Poulsbo Troll brings neighbors together around public art, nature, and local pride. Through grassroots leadership, private fundraising, and partnerships, we hope to create a world-class installation that celebrates Nordic heritage, encourages exploration of natural spaces, and welcomes all ages.
"Come be part of the story — join the conversation, share an idea, lend a skill, volunteer, or help build community support. This project is taking shape, and there is room for everyone who loves Poulsbo's creativity and sense of adventure."
