There is an information desk in the middle of Kungsträdgården, near the main stage. It’s open every festival day from 10:00 to 00:00. You can go there if you have questions, lost something, or need help.

Our photo and video team takes pictures and films artists and the audience. This material may be used on our website, social media, or in ads.

If you have questions about this, email: kulturfestivalen@stockholm.se

We advise against bringing dogs to the festival. The sound levels at many concerts are too loud for dogs’ sensitive hearing, and the festival environment can be stressful. Guide dogs are of course welcome, but all other dogs will be more comfortable at home.

All waste from the festival is collected and sorted afterwards at a waste facility, which is why there is no on-site recycling. However, there are separate bins for recyclable PET bottles.

To reduce plastic use, we’ve agreed with all vendors to minimize plastic packaging. Most single-use items used at the festival are made from alternative materials.
The majority of beverages are sold in recyclable PET bottles that can be returned for deposit.

Thanks for choosing a green way to travel! You’ll find bike parking near the festival areas. You can also read more here:
