Allsång på Skansen ("Sing Along at Skansen"), is a Swedish show held at Skansen in Stockholm, every summer. The audience is supposed to sing along with musical guests, to well-known Swedish songs. The show started in 1935 on a small scale - about fifty people in the audience. Today, about 10 000-15 000 people come to each performance.

Since 1979, the show has been broadcast by Sveriges Television. Initially the show had about 300,000 viewers. When Lasse Berghagen took over as host, the ratings increased to about two million viewers. In 2003, "Allsång på Skansen" was the first SVT programme that was broadcast with 5.1 multichannel sound. In 2007, it became one of the first Swedish live programmes broadcast in high-definition television.
