Do we need a separate ticket?

No. It's included in regular Skansen admission and the annual pass. Buying online ahead gets you in faster, and students get in free with a student ID (international ones count).

Where in Skansen is it?

Around Solliden. In 2026 the children's celebration was on Sollidenplan and the evening program at the Solliden Stage.

What should kids wear?

Warm layers, hats and gloves. It's outdoors in late April in Stockholm, and it gets cold once the sun goes down.

What you need to know

An earlier hour for kids, a calmer children's celebration with spring songs and a small bonfire, new in 2026
The main bonfire is late, lit at 9pm in 2026, so the evening program suits kids who can stay up
Food sold on site, so the early celebration can double as dinner

About

Walpurgis Night, called Valborg in Sweden, is the country's welcome to spring: choirs sing the classic spring songs, someone gives a spring speech, and the evening ends with a big bonfire. Skansen has held it since 1892 on Djurgården. It suits kids who like singing, a crowd and a real fire, and it's an easy way to show them a Swedish tradition up close.
