Celebrate Walpurgis Eve in Uppsala
On the last day of April, thousands of people gather in Uppsala to celebrate Walpurgis Eve. Student rafts on the river and choir-singing are just a few of the things going on that day.
In the evening, you can listen to songs of spring near the Gunilla Bell or warm yourself by the crackling bonfire in Old Uppsala. Read more and see the film from the celebration in 2008.

Reggae Festival
Scandinavia’s largest reggae festival, with bouncy rhythms that attract confirmed reggae fans as well as other guests with a more general interest in music. Artists from the whole world – especially Kingston, Jamaica – come to participate. The festival takes place in August in the “KAP” area beyond the Studenterna sports arena, a scenic walk from the city centre. |
