Children’s guide to the Culture Festival

In Kungsträdgården, five days filled with music, dance, fairy tales, experiments, crafts and performances await children of different ages. Here, the same afternoon can include both rune collars, robot dogs, K-pop and sing-alongs.

Start with something you've never done before

What did money look like in the past? What does a historical helmet feel like?

In the Children's History Tent, you can try out activities together with several of the State's historical museums. Draw your own banknote, make a rune collar, test historical helmets or challenge your family in a quiz.

A few meters away, the Museum of the Future awaits, where kites fly across the sky in a Mixed Reality game. With a bow in hand, you have to aim correctly.

At ABBA The Museum, the adventure continues with music, dance and activities inspired by one of Sweden's most beloved music groups. And at the Museum of Technology, you can meet the robot dog Tech Puppy.

It's hard to stand still

For those who like to run, there are plenty of things to do.

Try a K-pop workshop or try out children's breaking together with the Dansmuseet. Cirkus Normal lets children and young people try out fabric gymnastics, juggling and tightrope walking, while Östermalmsklubbarna invites you to play handball.

Music for big ears and small legs

Concerts and performances for all ages await on stage.

Loranga, Masarin and Dartanjang move onto the main stage in Kungsträdgården. Karl-Petters Orkester offers music that invites both laughter and dancing, while Grammy winners Bröderna Lindgren return with their very own mix of humor, warmth and pop.

During the week, the Children's Best Sing-alongs together with Blåsarsymfonikerna and Sollentuna Voices are also waiting. Here, no one complains if someone sings a little too loudly.

From Junibacken to Unga Operan

Fairy tales and stories have an obvious place at the festival.

Junibacken is celebrating 30 years and is hosting the festival with activities during the week. The Young Opera offers performing arts for younger audiences, and in the Children's Book Tent, you can expect reading aloud, stories and encounters with the world of books.

And then Comic Con appears

Just when you think you've seen everything, Comic Con awaits.

In the tent, games, fantasy, film and popular culture come together with activities for both curious beginners and die-hard fans.

That's perhaps what makes the family area so fun. You know roughly where the day begins, but rarely exactly where it ends.
