DreamHack calls itself the world's largest "digital festival". Its events include local area network gathering with live concerts and competitions in digital art and esports. The first DreamHack event was held in Malung, Sweden. DreamHack held several gaming events throughout Europe: in Stockholm and Jönköping, Sweden, Tours, France, Bucharest and Cluj, Romania, Valencia and Seville, Spain, London, England and Leipzig, Germany. In May 2016 DreamHack held its first event on the North American continent in Austin, Texas. In August 2016, it held its first event in Montreal, Quebec. The winter event consistently has approximately 10% more visitors than the summer event, but in other respects they are quite similar. Both events are 72 hours (stretching over 4 days), and have scheduled activity around the clock, every day.
