About this event
For five days the City of Stockholm hands its inner city over to music, dance, performing arts, film, art, literature and food, with hundreds of programme items and free entry throughout. The 2026 edition adds three new areas: Slottsbacken with a Catalan culture focus, Slussen with live acts and film by the water, and a market and crafts strip along Skeppsbrokajen.
Why we picked it
The biggest free cultural event in Sweden, with hundreds of programme items and no ticketing at all — a single listing that can anchor a whole mid-August weekend.
Free entry
Free entry to the entire festival; the city states "free admission and hundreds of programme events". Food and drink are sold on site.
