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.

Smash x Stadion
Lidingövägen 1, 114 33 Stockholm, SwedenSmash is here and this time with two days at Stockholm Stadium along with the giants A $ AP Rocky, Migos, Kodak Black, Swedish Z.E. and many more.
That Juice WRLD has taken the music world by storm this past year is more than a fact. After releasing his debut single “Lucid Dreams” in 2018, his name has topped the charts around the world and the streaming figures are increasing at the same rate as the heart beat. For the second week in a row, his latest album release “Death Race For Love” is on the Billboard list.
Jessie Reyez makes her big solo Stockholm debut at Stadium. Her musical CV is filled at a high pace as she has collaborated with big names like Eminem, Calvin Harris and Kehlani.
The scene will also be visited by the internet sensations and the great stars of the future: Brooklyn-born Rico Nasty, Britain’s R&B jump Ama Lou and the underground rap talent Flohio. Although their musical tone is different, they have one thing in common: they have been praised up to the skies by music journalists and tastemakers from all over the world.
– The stadium will really boil in July. There has not been a similar hip hop festival in the capital before. “We are really looking forward to these two days, ”says Sulekha Daar, press officer, Smash.
