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.

Death Cab For Cutie @ Cirkus
Cirkus, Djurgårdsslätten, Stockholm, SwedenIt is not enough to say that Death Cab for Cutie revolutionized the indie rock landscape – they created a whole new continent for it and showed that emo music was a part of its core. With the 2003 Transatlanticism, the American band not only gave rise to one of their most emotional albums, but at the same time coined, in their own words to explain the indescribable emotional gap between people. Suitable for a band whose music itself seems to resonate an incredible depth, an insight into our stormy feelings. Since then, they have album after album, let every song, pave their place in the world and our lives. On August 17, the band is finally back with the Thank You for Today album, and on February 11, the band returns to Sweden for a show at Circus in Stockholm.

Opening Reception: Bernar Venet - Angles
Västra Trädgårdsgatan 4A, 111 53 Stockholm, SwedenBernar Venet – Angles
Opening ReceptionOne of the most celebrated conceptual artists working today, Bernar Venet’s extensive oeuvre is a culmination of intellectual rigour, artistic dexterity and creative investigation of materials ranging from coal and asphalt to steel.
His success was celebrated with a retrospective at the New York Cultural Center when he was just 30 years old. His signature Arcs, Angles, Straight and Indeterminate lines spring forth from intensive mathematical studies of chance and chaos. They can be traced through his work’s evolution from illustrations, to wooden frames and, ultimately, his famous steel sculptures.
Throughout his career, Venet has employed a variety of genres including painting, photography, sound and performance to explore both material and form, as well as existential questions of perception, time and spatiality.
