IKEA Meatball Festival

Kick off the summer with two fun-filled days at the IKEA Meatball Festival: music, dancing, performances, games, prizes, treats and meatballs for every taste. Visit IKEA on June 6 and 7 and spend a fun-filled weekend for all ages!

 

There will be music, laughter, fun games for every family member and of course lots of various meatballs. Butterflies in stomach? There’s certainly space for some tasty IKEA meatballs and plant balls. And that’s not all: this year we’ve also added some new flavors.

 

This celebration means fun for everyone. Children will for sure enjoy the ball pool and have a great time in the bouncy house, at fun ball games and creative workshops.

 

IKEA Meatball festival on June 6 and 7 will once again be one of the highlights of your summer: save the date now for a weekend that’s all about fun!

Against a background of green grass there are several long dishes filled with meatballs, mashed potatoes, and green peas. Swedish flags are attached to the dishes.

What a perfect day

Check out the program and plan your perfect Meatball Day!

 

On Saturday, the festivities will take place from 12:00 to 20:00, and on Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00.

 

We’ll kick things off on Saturday at 12:00 with some summer vibes and a workshop where both kids and adults can create beautiful flowers from various materials. The folk dance ensemble “Zelta sietiņš” will light up the stage with some joyful energy and welcome the audience to join in the dancing as well.

 

Throughout the day, the event host Kristaps Tālbergs will invite you to join a variety of games with fantastic prizes from IKEA, while DJ Feya and our very own IKEA DJs – mascots Meatball and Heart, and even the host himself – will take turns at the DJ booth to keep the beats going. Meanwhile, the STAR FM mobile studio will report on all the behind-the-scenes action.

 

On Saturday, the fun will continue until 20:00. Then, we’ll meet again on Sunday at 12:00 for more games, attractions, delicious meatball dishes and some joyfyl dancing with the children and youth dance ensemble "Bitītes". On Sunday, the dancefloor rhythms will be in the hands of DJ Cimmis and his sidekicks, our mascots Cinnamon Bun and Bear, all the way until 18:00.

And of course, there’s no festival fun without the inflatable shark bouncy house and ball pool for kids. Good times are guaranteed for both kids and adults!

Enjoy new meatball flavours

This year, you’ll be able to try more meatball flavors than ever before. In addition to our traditional meat, chicken, vegetable, and plant balls, we’re introducing new choices: fish balls and falafel balls. Come and have a taste!

 

The new meatballs are already available at the Swedish restaurant, whereas the well-known and beloved flavors can also be enjoyed at home by purchasing the meatballs at the Swedish food market.

On a yellow background, the phrase "Viss bumbas" is written, and on top of it there is a cardboard dish containing meatballs, lingonberry sauce, and a Swedish flag.
