Kick off the design week at Bygden!

Kick off the design week at Bygden!

Welcome to a pre-party with talk before the design week, awesome guests, bubbles, mingle and not least Random Bastards + DJ Maja (known from Trädgården).

During the days 27 May - 2 June, Umeå is hosting a design festival! There is a lot happening on the artistic campus and also around the city. Among other things, the School of Design, Architecture and Art has its graduation exhibitions and some creative collectives open up their businesses and studios.  

Of course, all parties should start with a proper pre-party. That's why we're inviting you to a full evening of great music, bubbly with a mingle platter, exciting guests and a look at some local creative initiatives.  

From 20.00 until late, there will be a takeover. Random Bastards will take the stage and release new merch on the spot - they will also be supported by DJ Maja.  

 The village keeps the bar open until we go home! 

As we will have some international guests, everything from the stage will be in English. The pre-party is organised together with Umeå municipality.

Sign up today for the Pre-Festival
