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.
