Time: 10.00–16.00 every day
Welcome to a weekend filled with music, activities, and harbour fun at Pier 4, Eriksberg!
The theme of this year’s festival is our historical heritage, with everything from exciting treasure hunts for children to meetings with our fantastic sailors, who are happy to share their stories and experiences of life at sea.
During the festival days, we offer live music, family-friendly activities, and waterfront experiences for all ages.
Free entry, everyone is welcome! Don’t forget to claim your free ticket to visit the ship via the button below.
The festival is organized by Ostindiefararen Götheborg, who wants all Gothenburg residents to have the opportunity to experience the city’s rich maritime history and visit our world-unique ship completely free of charge.

Greencarrier and the City of Gothenburg have agreed on their ambition to create a long-term home for the East Indiaman at Masthuggskajen. The goal is for the ship to play a central role in a new historical experience center, planned for completion in 2031, and to help create a more vibrant waterfront promenade near Järntorget.
During the evening we will be joined by Mats Berggren, who during the construction period represented the Swedish Maritime Administration as a determined and persistent inspector, and Marie-Louise Edholm, who took part in building the rigging, has sailed with the ship, and has been responsible for the maintenance of the rig. You will gain insight into traditional craftsmanship, material choices, and the many challenges involved in combining historical authenticity with modern safety and operational requirements. If you were involved during this period, perhaps you have a story of your own to share. We would love to hear it! About halfway through the lecture, coffee and pastries will be available for purchase. All proceeds will go directly toward the re-rigging of the ship. Registration is free of charge.

Following growing interest in the future of the East Indiaman Götheborg, Greencarrier now presents detailed plans for a new permanent quay location and an adjacent experience center at Masthuggskajen in Gothenburg. The ambition is to create a new destination in the city ahead of the 300th anniversary of the Swedish East India Company in 2031. The first vision images are now being presented.
