WELCOME TO THE CITY CELEBRATION
From August 27–30, you’re welcome to drop by.
The Gothenburg’s city festival takes place right in the heart of the city, and during these four days it pulses with life at its very best. Here, among other highlights, you’ll find the main stage at Götaplatsen, where unforgettable concert memories are created together.
Four days packed to the brim with music, food, crowds, and experiences around every corner!
FESTIVAL AREAS
THE PARTY RETURNS TO AVENYN
On the upper part of Avenyn, the street will be closed to traffic as restaurants and bars move outdoors.
Take a seat along the grand boulevard, raise a glass and get ready for the concert – or stay on afterwards and let the summer evening continue.
COME AS YOU ARE – SEE YOU IN THE CITY CENTRE
COME HUNGRY
STAY FOR A MOMENT – OR THE WHOLE EVENING
The music lab
At Grönsakstorget, you can discover Gothenburg’s next musical stars. Here you’ll meet artists at the start of their journey – intimate, vibrant and real. The Music Lab is a stage for emerging bands and musicians taking the step from rehearsal room to a live audience. Perhaps this is where you’ll hear your next favourite song for the first time.
FOOD AND DRINK FROM GOTHENBURG AND THE WORLD
The Street Food Festival takes over Kungstorget and Basargatan, alongside music and live performances. As you make your way through the festival, you’ll find food and drink in several other festival areas, including Bältespännarparken and along Avenyn.
DANCE FLOOR IN THE HEART OF BÄLTESPÄNNARPARKEN
Here, dance takes centre stage – something many have been looking forward to. Try everything from bugg to Bollywood, watch dance performances or simply let loose to the music.
circus at kungsparken
Here the festival’s green oasis takes shape, with circus acts and a programme for children and families. Bring a picnic and settle in for a while in the midst of the greenery. The area is organised in collaboration with the Dance and theatre festival.
