What's On, August in Stockholm

colour run stockholmWe’re at the end of July now, Summer is flying by and August is just around the corner.  It’s time for another one of our monthly instalments of What’s On, this month we’re looking at Stockholm – the capital of Scandinavia.
Stockholm Music and Arts – 1st – 3rd
Every year Stockholm becomes a hive of activity for music and arts, this festival takes place over three days and combines, music, art, food, drink and culture across the whole of the Stockholm Archipelago setting.  Tickets and more information can be found at theStockholm Music and Arts website.
Dans Dakar – 8th – 9th
Taking place over one night, Dans Dakar is one of the biggest dance music events taking place in Stockholm this year.  Some of the biggest names in electronic music can be found alongside thousands of ravers looking for a good time.  More information (in Swedish) can be found on the Dans Dakar website.
Stockholm Culture Festival 12 – 17
Running over five days, this festival packs as much music and culture into it’s schedule as it possibly can.  With something for everyone, this event is spread out across the whole of the city and is free to attend.  You can get more information about the weeks proceedings from the Stockholm Culture Festival website
Colour Run – 23rd
Running a 5k might not be for everyone, neither is watching one, but what if that 5k run was brightened up with bags of colour powder paint to throw at the runners.  Known as the happiest 5k on the planet, there is no prizes for winning, everyone is just encouraged to get as covered in paint as possible on their way round.  Find out all about the event atThe Colour Run website
Popaganda – 29th – 30th
Taking place on the last weekend of August, Popaganda is a festival for pop music lovers.  With some of the biggest household names in pop right now playing over the two days, Popaganda looks like it could be an excellent way to end the month off.  Find out all about it at the Popaganda website
