Heavens, what a carnival!
It’s now confirmed: AF Bostäder is one of the main sponsors of Lundakarnevalen 2026.
Ever since 1894, Lund’s students have put on a carnival every four years. Lundakarnevalen is as beloved as ever and in 2022 it attracted half a million people from near and far.
On 22–24 May 2026, it’s time again! This year’s theme is “Celestialkarneval”, promising both spiritual and cosmic close encounters with the universe.
“We’re over the moon, and truly grateful that AF Bostäder once again wants to support Lundakarnevalen,” says Hugo Widell, Carnival General of Lundakarnevalen. “AF Bostäder is the students’ own housing company and understands the value of an attractive university, a lively campus and a dynamic student life. As always, we’re looking forward to a truly heavenly collaboration.”
“When you study in Lund, you become part of cultural expression, traditions and antics with boundless creativity,” says Henrik Krantz, CEO of AF Bostäder. “It’s easy to find friends for life here and have fun along the way. Lundakarnevalen is Sweden’s best student carnival: a true public celebration with nationwide impact and entertainment of the highest quality.”
“Our statutes say we should promote cultural life and friendship among students, so it’s a given for us to help make sure everyone can experience Lundakarnevalen. And what stars Lund’s students are. Now we’re longing for thunder and lightning, and to feel as star-struck as ever,” says Henrik Krantz.
