HepCat Day 2026 – Lund

Hepcat Day is back, and on Saturday, May 30, 2026, it is time to bring together people from Lund, the rest of Sweden and the world for a full day of music, crafts, food and community. The area around Hepcat Store on Sankt Lars is transformed into a vibrant festival environment and Hepcat Day continues to cement its place as one of Lund's largest recurring events.

For a full day, we gather friends, brands, musicians, creators and visitors from all over Sweden and the rest of the world to celebrate what we are passionate about: timeless style, genuine craftsmanship, good music and meetings between people. Expect live music, international brands, food and drinks of the highest quality, creators, artists, barbers. And of course that special Hepcat atmosphere that is hard to put into words but easy to feel.

Last year's addition, the flea market, is back in 2026, along with lots of new players from both Lund and further afield.

During the day, a carefully selected group of actors gather with a clear focus on raw materials, craftsmanship and taste. The range ranges from grilled and barbecue to pastries, coffee and drinks, all served in a relaxed festival environment in a built-up food court.

Garage Bar from Höganäs is back and brings its well-known burgers, cooked with care and respect for the ingredients. Also on site are BBQ-inspired flavors and deep character from Holy Smoke, perfect for those who appreciate classic smoky tones and hearty food. For those who are craving something sweet, Broder Jakobs from Lund offers fresh buns, bread and pastries, baked with tradition and quality in focus.

Coffee is not in the spotlight. Love Coffee from Lund brews specialty coffee on site. For those who want something to drink with their meal or just to cool off during the day, Bad Apples is on site with a wide and well-thought-out beverage selection.

Hepcat Day is more than music, clothes and food. During the day, the area is also filled with artists, creators and craftsmen who contribute their personal expressions and knowledge. Local and visiting players in areas such as leather, jewelry, denim care and recycling meet here.

You will find unique products, custom-made items and selected flea market finds, as well as the opportunity to take part in practical services such as barbering and craft-related experiences. Together, this creates a vibrant and creative environment that is an obvious part of the overall experience at Hepcat Day.

What is Hepcat Day?

Hepcat Day is an annual event where music, crafts, food and creative culture come together for a day. What started as an informal gathering between friends has grown into an open and vibrant gathering place for local and international brands, creators and visitors.
The focus is on quality, engagement and encounters between people, with live music, good food and experiences that last all day. Hepcat Day is not a nostalgic look back, but a contemporary event where different expressions and cultures meet in the present.
