Katrineholm Week: Knalle market 7–8 August

The Knalle market is one of the highlights of Katrineholm Week, which in 2026 runs from 1 to 8 August across the town. On two days, Friday 7 and Saturday 8 August, the centre around the square and Köpmangatan fills with market stalls offering shopping, food and activities for people of all ages. It is the week’s main market event and a natural meeting point if you want to experience the bustle of central Katrineholm.

According to Katrineholm Week, the Knalle market starts at 10:00 on both days. The organiser describes the offering as market stalls, shopping, food and activities — a classic market where you can stroll among sellers in the centre. The same weekend, the week’s programme includes more activities within walking distance: the restaurant tent opens at 11:00 on both Friday and Saturday, and on Friday there is also a sculpture exhibition from 11:00.

The market takes place around the square and Köpmangatan, in the heart of Katrineholm. The centre is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, and you can easily combine a visit to the market with other programme items on the same days. Katrineholm Week publishes times and the full programme on its website — worth checking there if you want to plan your day.

The Knalle market comes towards the end of Katrineholm Week, after a week of sport, music, motor events and club activities around the municipality. On Friday 7 August the market coincides with several other events in the centre and Stadsparken, while Saturday 8 August also has market activities according to the week’s programme. Both days are a good opportunity to enjoy the summer atmosphere in the city core.
