Sommarkrysset (pronounced [ˈsɔmːarˈkrʏsːɛt]) is a Swedish television program that is broadcast live from the Gröna Lund amusement park in Stockholm during the summer. It was first shown on June 3, 2005.^[1]

The program consists of live performances by famous artists in front of a live audience while viewers can call in and win a certain amount of money. To have the chance to win this money, the viewer first has to figure out a word which is derived by entering the answers to questions (one letter in each box) on a piece of graph paper with 5x5 squares like a crossword.^[2]

The program is produced by Baluba Television after a TV-format created by Baluba.

The Lotto draw is usually broadcast live with Ulrika Bengtsson as a presenter, although others have presented the draw at times. Annika Duckmark has also been a regular presenter.
