Food and drink festivals in Sweden
Visiting one of Sweden’s many food and drink festivals gives an excellent glimpse into the Swedish culinary world.
A little like the smorgasbord, Swedish food is a diverse affair. And there are a number of food and drink festivals throughout the year that celebrate Swedish food and its local and regional variations. Local produce plays an important role in the country’s increasingly sustainable food culture and is often front and centre at many of these tasty celebrations.
Here are festivals and events across Sweden that are worth a visit.
