The Kiruna Festival is Scandinavia’s northernmost and by far the largest festival north of the Arctic Circle!

When other festivals rig stage lights, we light the midnight sun. When other city festivals set up their stages in front of shopping centers, we have the Kebnekaise massif as a festival backdrop. The Kiruna Festival is a unique festival experience with three days of joy and fellowship.

Since its inception, the Kiruna Festival has been established as Kiruna’s premier cultural and music event. It’s a big folk party where everyone is invited. For the people of Kiruna, it is the big homecoming weekend and the given start to the summer. The festival is a folk festival for the whole family. During the festival, everything from children’s theaters, fairgrounds, dance performances, competitions, sing-alongs, bike shows, the pride parade in collaboration with Kiruna Pride and everything in between is also arranged.

In principle, the entire Swedish artistic elite has performed at the Kiruna Festival over the decades. Håkan Hellström, The Strokes, Veronica Maggio, The Hives, Sahara Hotnights, Kent, Robyn, The Cardigans and Willy Clay Band to name a few. In addition to the two large stages, the area is also filled with food vendors, restaurants, vendors, company expos and fairground activities.

The Kiruna festival is the midnight sun, the big homecoming weekend, the fantastic music, the start of the summer and with all the good food. We have our scenes in squares, in alleys, street corners, parks and indoor crawlies. And perhaps the most important thing – the “Festival atmosphere” which is Kiruna Festival’s very own.
