At last the cold winter has left Lund and hot violet winds are now sweeping through the streets. The wind draws the smell of sawdust from the parade preparations in the north and tones of song from Stora Nöjens preparations. There are but a few in Lund who could have missed the fact that the Lund Carnival is taking place next month. The town is bustling with over 5500 students who are working to make Lund Sweden's most imaginary place on 18-20 May. It will be a weekend with imaginative shows, comedy shows and delicious food. Regardless of age, humor or dreams, there is no limit to the fantasy of the Imaginal Carnival.
What does the Imaginal Carnival have to offer? On 18-20 May, the Lund Carnival takes over Lundagård. The parade will roam the cobblestone streets and spread carnival joy. Within the carnival area in Lundagård, you will be able to try your luck in the tombola booth, eat until you're happily stuffed and visit Smånöjen (minor entertainments). In the evenings, well-known artists will take the main stage.
There will be 8 Stora Nöjen (major entertainments) during the carnival, with performances all 3 days. These include Barnevalen, Spexet, Cirkusen, Filmen, Kabarén, Revyn, Operan and Showen. Click here to read more about these entertainments.
Latest news There has been lots going on lately and even more is going on in the next few weeks. A couple weeks ago we announced the names of the artists who will take the main stage in Lundagård during the three nights of the carnival. We have the great honor to welcome Silvana Imam and Sabina Ddumba.
A week ago, Imaginal Carnival's very own magazine was sent to the press. Imaginal Journal is a full-fledged magazine and printed copies are available for purchase at Stortorget and around Skåne on 12 May.
You can now order Lund Carnival drinks - carnival beer and cider (karnevölen, karnevAlen and karneciders) - from Systembolaget. And why not go out and get yourself a unique piece Carnival merchandise? Finally, in the northern part of town we are building the parade floats and these creations will not resemble anything we have previously seen. |
