Welcome to Love Stockholm 2010, 6-19 June

This summer, Stockholm looks forward to the Royal Wedding. In conjunction with Crown Princess Victoria’s and Mr Daniel Westling’s wedding, the City of Stockholm invites all to join in two weeks of fabulous festivities.

The theme is love, which will be prominent in programmes and activities. The wedding is a historic occasion that attracts attention far beyond Sweden’s borders and a great number of foreign visitors are expected to visit Stockholm. Love Stockholm 2010 will be a welcoming meeting place where Stockholmers and visiting tourists can celebrate together.

During these two weeks, the beautiful City of Stockholm will be lavishly decorated. Each and all will find exciting and enjoyable events in the broad programme. Streets and squares will bustle with music, art, culture, food, fashion, design and history.

The festivities will commence with the inauguration at Sweden’s annual National Day Celebration 6 June. The party then continues during the following two weeks, peaking on the Royal Wedding Day on 19 June. The venue for Love Stockholm 2010 is primarily the city centre – for example Kungsträdgården and Skeppsbron – but activities will also take place in outer Stockholm.
