Gröna Lund

Several world artists and icons have played on Gröna Lund‘s big stage. The amusement park fills the summer evenings with an incredible range of concerts. Even their small stage offers dance evenings, children’s theater and concerts. In addition to concerts, Gröna Lund is also Stockholm’s main Halloween park with numerous fire shows, horror parades and lots of haunted houses where you can spend your autumn evenings, but only if you dare and are brave enough.

It is also in Gröna Lund that you will find Tyrol, which has the best dinner shows in town! Here you can experience Mamma Mia! The party, Oktoberfest, Christmas table and much more. Perfect for those who want to combine food with excitement and music.

Skansen

Another iconic stage is of course the Soliden stage. At Skansen, all the year’s holidays are celebrated and it usually takes place on the Sollidenscenen in front of the beautiful view over Stockholm. Everything from the countdown on New Year’s Eve and the May bonfire at Valborg, to a royal visit on Sweden’s National Day. In addition to the holidays, the stage is also filled with an incredible concert program where musicians, comedians and others come to perform at the beautiful Skansen. One of the biggest events at Skansen is of course Allsång at Skansen, where every year we sit in the evening sun and sing together with a variety of artists. Right below Solliden, you will also find Galejan and Gubbhyllan, which have both dance evenings and jazz evenings.

Parkteatern

In the summer, there is actually a stage that is completely free and accessible to everyone. The park theater can be found all over Stockholm and one of the stages is here at Djurgården in Galärparken right by the Wasa Harbor on beautiful Djurgårdsstrand. The range is for all ages and you can go to concerts, circus, dance and theater on the outdoor stage. The program is released before each season and is available on the culture house website and at the Royal Djurgården Visitor Center.
