The new concept is called "Park till park" and runs from 19-20 August and includes music, food and drink with performances and open shops along Storgatan, both on the west and east sides of the river.

The start at one end is Teaterparken and the end is in Gripsholmsparken on Öster - where a small festival area has also been built.

- Previous activities, such as bangers and fairgrounds at Nyköping's festive days, have been difficult for us as a municipality to set requirements regarding safety and sustainability and more.

During the pandemic, local and local produce has been highlighted in various events and it has been both popular and well-attended, says Claes Hidegård, project manager at Nyköping's arenas.
