What is Kulturnatten About?
More than 80,000 people attended Kulturnatten in 2017, and this year could be even bigger. Aimed to be family friendly with plenty of interesting shows for kids, the organisers say...
'The culture night creates the city's biggest annual event, which opens the city on one evening and ties it together in an intense experience of extraordinary cultural events.'
Among these experiences are events in churches, museums, parks, the planetarium - everywhere you can think of! The events are also all curated individually and open to everyone, but you must buy the culture pass - see here
