November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.
Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

Since 2008, this has been the first party of its kind and has attracted visitors from all over Europe. The Underwear Party has become the year’s most talked about, loved and awaited happening where people of all sexualities, gender identities, body types and ages dance in their underwear.
The Underwear Party’s organizer Petter Wallenberg says:
“Everyone who comes to The Underwear Party for the first time say they certainly won’t dare to take off something, then it takes two minutes until they throw off their clothes and go nuts. It doesn’t matter what you look like or what type of body you have. There is a joy here that you will not find anywhere else. No clothes = no attitude. Peace and love. It is important in these times. Now we’re once again cavemen dancing half-naked in the cave! ”
The Underwear Party takes place on Thursday August 2nd during EuroPride at Debaser Strand with two dance floors and a late license until 3 AM.

Petter Wallenberg (House of Wallenberg)
