Grenna, a small idyllic town in southern Sweden, about 300 km south of Stockholm, is one of the most popular tourist sites in Sweden.

Since 1974 the Grenna Music Association has arranged summer music in Grenna. The beatiful landscape invites you to enjoy all kinds of live music and hence we have arranged all kinds of concerts; classical music, folk music, pop music, jazz, blue-grass and so on. Grenna is well suited for any kind of music. The choice is yours!
