The Stockholm Culture Festival fills the Swedish capital’s squares and streets with free performances, turning the city centre into a sprawling open air venue for several days each year.
The programme typically spans music, dance, theatre and food, drawing large crowds to areas around Kungstradgarden and the surrounding centre.
Organised by the city, the festival has become one of the busiest points in Stockholm’s cultural calendar, timed to make the most of the late summer season.
For residents and visitors alike, it offers a concentrated snapshot of the Swedish capital’s arts scene in a single, walkable stretch of the city.
