Lundakarnevalen or Lund Carnival 2026 in Sweden
Lund is one of the most intense student towns of Sweden. Every four years its intensity and level of fun rise well above the maximum!
Dates: May 2026
Lundakarnevalen started back in 1849 with a party organized by the Smalan nation (a student organization, often compared to fraternities). It resembled a typical Swedish "springfest" or Mayfest, even though this one happens every four years.
Every carnival has a directory board and a huge crowd of volunteers who prepare the topic for the event. The period of the carnival is as much fun as getting ready for it. The whole town lives for four years only with the carnival in mind!
