Activities in the square in the summer of 2026

There is a great deal of interest from several parties who wish to use the square this summer.

We are seeing a significant increase in the number of participants who want to contribute to activities, commerce, and experiences in the square this summer. This is very encouraging and shows that the square is an attractive gathering place for both residents and visitors.

The square is available for use by participants who help bring life and activity to the area. Use of the square is based on trust, and practical information for those wishing to set up in the square can be found in the guidelines on our website.

However, the increased interest shows that we need to gain a better overview of placement, logistics, and coordination before next season.

In the summer of 2026, we will therefore continue with a simple system: first come, first served within the designated areas. Space is limited, so the number of people who can be accommodated may vary.

What’s Next

At the same time, this increased activity provides us with a solid foundation for how we should further develop the use of the square. The matter will therefore be raised at the political level this fall.

The goal is to achieve a clear and predictable solution that accommodates activity, market trading, play, and pleasant public spaces.

Our ambition is for the square to be well-regulated and organized by 2027, so that we achieve a good balance between various considerations—while continuing the activity we see today.
