Stockholms Kulturfestival

Background and challenge

Stockholms Kulturfestival is a free annual festival that attracts over a million visitors each year. During festival week, the city centre becomes an open stage for a wide range of free cultural experiences, from music, visual arts and dance to food, theatre and much more, with something for every age and interest. The event draws over a million visitors annually.

In 2025, Pigment was entrusted with taking over the existing codebase and carrying out a complete technical rebuild of the website. The aim was to create a modern, scalable platform that would be much easier to manage. The project also included an integration with Jetty to import the festival’s full programme.

Solution

As a web agency we took over the existing codebase and carried out a complete technical rebuild to create a modern, scalable and easy-to-manage platform for Stockholms Kulturfestival. Integrating with Jetty allowed us to import the festival’s extensive programme and present it in a more structured, efficient and user-friendly way.

Alongside the rebuild, we developed a clear information structure that makes it easy for visitors to find events, artists and practical information. We focused on accessibility, helping visitors get an overview of the programme and creating an inspiring experience that reflects the festival’s variety. The result is a stable digital platform that simplifies editorial work and makes it easier for over a million visitors to discover what’s on and plan their visit.
