Summer Meet Västerås 2026 – Sweden's biggest car festival

Summer Meet was held on 2–4 July 2026 in Västerås and is one of Europe's largest car meets. Here is how visitors stayed close to the festival.

Summer Meet in Västerås was held on 2–4 July 2026 and is one of Europe's largest car meets and one of Sweden's most visited summer events. Tens of thousands of visitors from across the Nordics gather for classic American cars, cruising, exhibitions and markets.

What Summer Meet is

Summer Meet is considerably more than a car gathering. The weekend holds thousands of classic American cars, large-scale cruising through the city, exhibitions and competitions, a swap meet, live music, food and drink, and activities for the whole family.

Staying close to the event

Staying centrally fixes most of a weekend like this: the travel time disappears and you can return to the hotel between activities. Hotell Arkad is at Östermalmsgatan 25 in central Västerås, within walking distance of both the city centre and the central station.

For next time

Accommodation in Västerås sells out early ahead of the Summer Meet weekend. Plan for the evening cruising, bring a camera, and book the room well in advance. Get in touch on +46 21 12 04 80 once next year's dates are set.
