WHAT’S ON STOCKHOLM: October 2019

what's on stockholm autumn october

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.

    Change the world with style. At an unbeatable price.

    Welcome to Style it Forward – a fashion event with the task of eliminating hunger. For the ninth year in a row, The Hunger Project Sweden is arranging the pop-up store at Berns in Stockholm. Every penny goes to the organisation’s work to eradicate hunger, always with women and girls in focus.

    Over the years, the event has raised more than SEK 1.5 million for the work on the root causes of why hunger exists and is a reality for every tenth person on earth.
    How does it work then? Well, it’s easy. Sweden’s largest fashion brands contribute with clothes, jewellery and accessories that you can then buy at a heavily discounted price on site in our temporary store at Berns.

    The event has a clear sustainability theme – fashion brands will contribute with second-hand objects and clothes from previous collections that can now be found at home.
