The goal is to attract people of all ages and contribute to a lively city center, with design useful for both larger events and everyday hanging out, according to Uppsala kommun. According to multiple reports, the lineup for Vaksalafesten includes Labyrint, Malena Ernman, Uppsala kammarorkester, Trio X, and Jacke Sjödin.

We look forward to opening a living stage also outside our house – full of experiences for all ages and with free entry throughout the season.
