August is the grand finale of late summer \u2013 and perhaps Stockholm\u2019s most underrated month. The water is at its warmest, the evening light at its softest, and the city fills up again as half of Stockholm returns from the countryside or holidays abroad, realising that the best of summer is still to come. There\u2019s a special feeling in the air that everything has to be squeezed in before autumn arrives, that memories are waiting to be made.<\/p>\n
And August delivers. The month kicks off with the Pride Parade, which brings half the city centre to a standstill, before serving up everything from crayfish parties and the Midnight Run to the twin derby in the Swedish top-flight football league.<\/p>\n
The live music line-up is almost absurdly broad: The Weeknd plays his only Nordic shows at Strawberry Arena, Veronica Maggio fills a sold-out Stockholm Stadium, Emmylou Harris bids farewell to Sweden one last time, and Mosebacketerrassen hosts Swedish greats night after night.<\/p>\n
