Discover the pulse of Stockholm right in the heart of the city during the highlight of the year – the Stockholm Culture Festival! Over five days, the city’s streets come alive with an explosion of culture from around the world.
Planned and prepared throughout the year, we invite you to experience a festival that attracts over a million visitors each year. From the 14th to the 18th of August, Stockholm transforms into a vibrant stage where art, music, dance, and much more take center stage. With free entry, everyone is welcome to participate in this spectacular celebration, regardless of age or background.
History
The backstory of this magical festival dates back to 2005, and since then, it has been a steady part of Stockholm’s cultural calendar, except for 2020 and 2021 when the pandemic halted the festivities. But we’ve adapted and offered alternative cultural experiences during those years.
Stockholm has also a long history of amplifying the voices of youth through festivals like Ung08 and We Are Sthlm. Now, this youth concept, known as YOUTH Culture Festival, is integrated into Stockholms Culture Festival itself – a step towards making the festival even more inclusive and exciting for everyone.
