Stockholm offers a rich events scene year-round. From summer festivals on the islands to Christmas markets in Gamla Stan — there is always something to experience.
Stockholm offers a rich selection of music, food and culture festivals during the summer, including Rosendal Garden Party, Stockholm Culture Festival and Stockholm Pride. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated at Skansen and in several places around the city. See current events in Visit Stockholm's festival guide.
Dramaten, the Opera and Stadsteatern offer world-class performing arts. Exhibitions at Fotografiska and Moderna Museet change continuously.
Parkteatern offers an extensive programme every summer with theatre, music, dance, circus and stand-up under open skies — always with free admission in parks and squares around Stockholm. See the current programme at Parkteatern.
Stockholm's Christmas markets in Gamla Stan, Skansen and Stortorget create a magical atmosphere. The advent season offers light festivals and concerts in the city's churches.
