As usual, more Christmas markets are popping up left, right, and centre. One well worth checking out is the Skåne Christmas Market in Hässleholmsgården. It begins on Thursday and offers handicrafts, homemade sweets and food. 
 
In the capital city the Stockholm Photo Fair gets underway on Friday - the Nordic region's largest photography market.

Feel like it's been too long since Eurovision? Then head down to Karlstad, where Sweden's 2014 entry Sanna Nielsen will be performing. Maybe you can figure out what she was talking about when she sang "Unbreak My Sad". Incidentally, she told The Local earlier this year that the song's meaning is "completely up to the listener".

Way out west in Gothenburg, there are fair few musical gigs on offer including the Mighty Oaks, Rival Sons, Weeping Willows and Looptroop Rockers. More details here
 
Lastly, this Friday is an important event in the Sami calendar that will be recognized as part of Umeå's work as a European Culture Capital of Europe in 2014. Events are being held to mark the official inauguration of Tjakttjadálvvie (early winter), the last of the eight annual Sami seasons. Expect live music and plenty of lights. A new women's history museum is also opening in Umeå this week.
