The open-air Gärdet concert
A summer tradition turns 50! Special guests: Niklas and Jenny Strömstedt. Bring your picnic!
It’s time once again for a true summer highlight! The open-air concert at the Maritime Museum on Gärdet is a cherished tradition in Stockholm, delighting audiences for decades. Hugely popular and always well attended, the event often includes sing-alongs and children’s activities – a “must” for many in the Stockholm summer calendar.
This year marks an impressive 50th anniversary for the tradition! As always, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is joined by special guests – this time the Strömstedts: singer Niklas Strömstedt and host Jenny Strömstedt. Conductor Alexander Hanson leads the orchestra.
You are warmly encouraged to arrive early. The Konserthuset area opens at 11.00 with children’s activities in our tent. Bring a picnic or enjoy food and refreshments available on site. The Philharmonic in the Green is presented in collaboration with the Royal National City Park and Dagens Nyheter.
