We’ll see you in 2025!

What did you do on the last of April? In Uppsala, it was full speed ahead and a true people’s festival out on the streets, squares, and parks. The day was celebrated by both young and old and attracted up to 150,000 visitors.

We want to extend a B I G thank you, and at the same time, honor the 40 or so authorities, organizations, businesses, and associations within our collaboration for the fantastic work done throughout the Valborg celebration. Together, we create conditions for residents and visitors to celebrate safely, neatly, and securely. It is thanks to you that Uppsala is Sweden’s Valborg.

We hope to see you again when we welcome spring in 2025!

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.
