Valborg 2024 – all of Sweden’s valborg


Take public transportation to the Valborg celebration (Walpurgis)

We encourage those traveling to the Valborg celebration to use public transportation instead of taking the car. There are many benefits to this; primarily, it reduces overall carbon dioxide emissions and contributes to preserving the environment. During Walpurgis, many streets and parking lots are closed. The recommendation applies both in the city and out to the various bonfires.


Tips to parents ahead of Valborg

  • Talk to your child about alcohol and narcotics.
  • Talk about the celebration by being curious and listening to your child(ren).
  • Be clear with boundaries and don’t buy alcohol for the underage.
  • Keep in touch with your child during the day/evening.
  • Cooperate with other parents and set common rules.
