Louisiana Avenue

A warm welcome to a magical evening in our new banquet hall, Ögonblicket.

This Christmas Eve, we are honored to welcome Louisiana Avenue for an intimate sunset concert on a midsummer evening. Choose between purchasing only a concert ticket, a ticket including a concert dinner at Strandbaren, or an overnight package with meals and a concert ticket.

The event:

I've never seen this type of energy outside the islands I'm from – definitely not in Sweden! – Wyclef Jean

"Sweden's best live band" occupies a unique and special place on the Swedish and Nordic music scene. As a tribute to one of the world's biggest carnivals, Louisiana Avenue invites you to a colorful party where anything can happen!

 The group draws from New Orleans' vibrant melting pot of magnificent music, which encompasses a variety of styles, such as soul, jazz, funk, blues, boogie-woogie, and Cajun, often intertwined with one another.  In addition to colourful stage costumes, reminiscent of a Mardi Gras parade, the carnival atmosphere is enhanced by elements such as inflatable unicorns, plastic necklaces, parasols and numerous flamboyant costume changes. The band creates a party that everyone is invited to!

Behind the joyful and exuberant stage performances lies a serious philosophy of love. The group calls itself a "message-driven joy orchestra" whose core value is the self-evident inclusion of everyone. Regardless of age, background, or physical condition, everyone is warmly welcome into Louisiana Avenue's world.
