Swedish furniture giant IKEA is hosting its first-ever 24-hour virtual event dubbed IKEA Festival, which started on September 16 at 2 p.m. It showcases a home tour and live musical performances that can be accessed online and via live streams without any fee or registration.
The IKEA Festival is taking place in over 100 homes in more than 50 markets globally. It features artists, DJs, creators, designers, chefs, and other talents worldwide who turned their own homes, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and backyards into virtual stages for live performances and discussions.
Another highlight of the festival is the different room settings “reflecting what people say is most important to them in their homes today,” such as family, friends, music, food, and discussions on current topics. (Read: Finally! Ikea shares the secret recipe for their *famous* meatballs)
