Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Stockholms filmfestival Junior
Stockholm, SwedenOn April 16, Stockholm’s film festival Junior will come alive again. Over 36 children- and youth films from 31 countries are featured in cinemas all over Stockholm
The festival’s goal is to show quality film from around the world, movies that rarely reach the usual biorepertoire, homes or schools. The views are varied with their own film making, discussion and backgrounds to bring back to the classroom. In addition, the festival is visited by a number of international filmmakers coming to Stockholm to meet the audience and answer questions. Film shows are free for all children, young people, teachers and members of the Stockholm Film Festival.
The festival week takes place in six fast-paced festival days, 16-21 April. Starting with the opening of the festival and ending with the award ceremony and gala at the cinema Skandia!
