We're helping Majblomman

On April 12, Grand Samarkand invites you to a day filled with kindness, joy, and community—all to support Majblomman’s important work on behalf of children in Sweden. Every child has the right to a meaningful future—free from poverty.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Majblomman, since the classic buttercup—yellow with green pistils—was first used as a symbol. This year’s flower is a tribute to this very anniversary, designed by 12-year-old Nellie Pilhton from Gothenburg, and represents something we all need— hope.

On April 9, sales of this year’s May Flower will begin across the country. On April 12, Grand Samarkand is hosting a special charity event to celebrate this occasion, and you’re warmly invited to join us!

Throughout the day,representatives from Majblomman will be on site at the shopping center, along withMajblomman children selling this year’s flower. It’s an opportunity to contribute, learn more about the organization’s work, and meet the people who are truly making a difference. 

And to make an even bigger difference, we’re donating5 kr per visitor on this day to Majblomman. So your visit on April 12 counts and directly contributes to the fight for a childhood free from poverty. Come and join us!
