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”.

Unique Stockholm Restaurants With A Great Wine List

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.

    A week with over 130 program points around Stockholm!

    This year Tempo’s theme is Family and the program is filled with interesting touches in the innermost sphere.

    The word family can be sensitive, arouse thoughts of security and community but also a sense of disappointment. Missing a family or not having a supportive family around when needed. This year’s theme puts the family under control. How can we look at an extended family concept? The biological family is one thing, but for many the self-elected family is just as important, if not more important.

    TICKETS: Pre-sale takes place at www.tempofestival.se/billetter/ or via the link here in the event.

     

    During the festival, the ticket booths open one hour before the first show at each showroom and close when the last show starts.

    Miriam Bryant @ Annexet

    19:30 -23:00
    04/03/2020
    Annexet, Arenatorget, Johanneshov, Sweden

    Last spring, the first part of the album “Mi Amor” was released and in conjunction with the album’s second and final part being released this year, Miriam Bryant embarks on a long tour across the country. The tour will be the most comprehensive so far in her career.

    Everyone knows that she has the voice, the star status and the charisma at this point. In the album “Mi Amor”, Miriam Bryant shows new sides of herself and her artistry. The album is recorded completely analogously to live instruments and for the first time Miriam sings newly written own material in Swedish; songs written together with Jocke Berg, Veronica Maggio, Adam Olenius and Maja Francis to name just a few. The release includes acclaimed singles such as “Down / Up”, “You With You” and “Blåmerkkshaart (Mi Amor)” – all of which have been widely streamed and played on the radio. Aftonbladet handed out four plus and did it with words like:

    “An important and poignant self-portrait in a time when our lives must always seem perfect. Bryant is not afraid of being broken. She always sings with a sense of spontaneity, like taking the words straight from the notes in the phone or diary. “
