Welcome to Scandinavias Flat out, No.1 Summer Rally Festival!
The Summer Festival is in shape. Live bands, party tents and After Rally, VIP experiences. And of course, the party at the hottest arena in the world of rally – Colin’s Crest!
The center with rally-HQ, Service Park and After Rally will be in Karlstad, and several of the stages will be accessible by bus directly from downtown Karlstad. And one thing we can promise – it will be Royal!
SPECTACULAR OPENING STAGE AROUND BAUHAUS KARLSTAD
Opening show and unique first stage around the BAUHAUS store in Karlstad.
The nearly two-kilometre-long starting stage from Gustaf Fröding’s childhood home, Alsters Herrgård, follows a gently undulating and fast rally road to Välsviken shopping centre. The stage then continues around the BAUHAUS hardware store, finally coming out at a roundabout, where everything concludes in front of the stands before crossing the finish line.
ROYAL SUPER FRIDAY AT COLIN'S CREST
The highlight of the winter season has become an unparalleled summer festival. Colin's Crest is a unique spot in the rally world, situated in the woods, a few kilometres from the nearest parking area, it hosts a festival site and one of the rally world’s most famous crests. Here, we have created a spectator area where Bröderna Olsson are hosting a party. Enjoy live music by Lucianoz on stage, a Beer Garden where you can enjoy a cold drink and something delicious from the grill. There will be try-out activities for children of all ages. And of course, a VIP area with a grill restaurant and bar for those who prefer a more comfortable experience.
