Midsumma Carnival and T Dance
Get yourself in the Midsumma mood with this opening event.
Overview
As always, Midsumma starts off with a bang with the Midsumma Carnival and T Dance in the Alexandra Gardens. There'll be hours of live music and entertainment on the main stage, over 140 stalls in the Carnival Village, plus the return of the Midsumma Dog Show and a grown-up sized jumping castle. Then, once the sun starts to set, the park will be transformed into one enormous dancefloor, with DJs and bands performing well into the night. It's the perfect way to get into the Midsumma mood – and best of all, it's 100 per cent free.
