Play and swim in the middle of town! Just next to the Gothenburg’s Anniversary Festival you’ll find Jubileumsparken, a Public Bath and the outdoor playground Utflyktslekplatsen that invite you to sun, swim and lots of play. The harbor pool will, among other things, consist of a swimming pool with a slide as well as a jumping and diving pool. At the Utflyktslekplatsen, you can instead have a picnic in the green grass, play among twenty imaginative and colorful play sculptures or just stroll along the large deck by the water.

During the Anniversary Festival, several artists will perform on different stages. Many of these performers are child-friendly and offer a fun and entertaining experience for the whole family. Among other things, you can look forward to Nassim Al Fakir and Rix FM Festival, who both visit Gothenburg’s Anniversary Festival.
3. Experience the circus and children’s theater
In the Festival area you’ll find a large pink and yellow circus tent where you will be able to see the performance Circus I love you, among other things.

In the circus tent, there will also be the theaters Hur ska det go for Babette, which depicts the exciting life at the circus, and Hovet, which offers a crazy dance performance.
4. Get on board the East Indiaman
Just in time for the opening of the Gothenburg’s Anniversary Celebration on June 2, the East Indiaman arrives back in Gothenburg after a voyage in Europe.

During the festival, anyone who wants to can board the ship and around the quay you can experience spectacle in true 18th century spirit.
5. Fun activities on the festival grounds
During the festival there will be over 30 fun activities to try.

On the Climbing wall, the Volym Climbing gym offers an exciting challenge in the form of an eight-metre high tower where both adults and children can climb together and see who gets the highest.
