Celebrate Walpurgis Night in Stockholm

| by Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network | in Uncategorized

There is lots to do in Stockholm this weekend. Today we celebrate Walpurgis in Sweden, which is marked by a very traditional Spring festival with singing and lighting of bonfires. There are a few places in Stockholm where visitors can view this tradition in action. One of the best places to be for Walpurgis is at Skansen and Restaurant Solliden. Here you have the the best view for the big bonfire show! The bonfire will be lit at 9pm. Book Restaurant Solliden’s Rainbow Offer>>

The weekend culminates in a crazy gay hat parade on Sunday. The parade starts at 15:00 from Kungsholmstorg and goes along the Norr Mälarstrand promenade to the Mälarpaviljongen, where a jury will nominate the parade’s most beautiful hat.
