Children´s stage
Johan, Kicki and Dan
We want to be at the forefront when it comes to the development of new exciting approaches in children's culture. We are therefore not satisfied with just offering our audience acts by local actors, but also visit our neighboring countries' festivals and invite them for guest performances. The events are aimed at all children, young people and their adults, regardless of whether you go to preschool, school, school childcare, family daycare or are at home. Everyone is welcome to the Children's Stage!
We are located in Malmö Folkets Park and operate on weekdays and weekends throughout the year.
