Kajen – Karlstad city festival

Karlstad’s most festive city festival returns for the fourth year running, perfectly situated in the innermost part of the city centre’s harbour. This summer, the line-up includes Magnus Uggla, Molly Sandén, Lovet, Medina and many more.

The Kajen City Festival in Karlstad

For four years running, a magical atmosphere has been created in the Inner Harbour, with crowds of happy people sharing the energy and music in the festival area. And in 2026, that fantastic atmosphere will be back! We hope that 6,000 happy, party-loving festival-goers will bring the festival to life every day.

Food and drink will be available throughout the site, with something to suit every taste. Visitors will enjoy two wonderful days packed with music, food, drink and friends.
