"The general impression is that there were more visitors this year than last time. Overall, it has been peaceful, but the warm weather has contributed to a few people getting rather too tipsy," police spokesperson Patric Fors told TT.

Last time around, in 2022, Lundakarnevalen had a turnover of just over 40 million kronor, and this year's edition – which ran from Friday to Sunday – was expected to turn over roughly the same amount.
