The European Night of Museums is an annual event held across Europe, when museums and cultural institutions open their doors to the public for free or at a reduced price, offering special events, exhibits, and activities that are often not available during regular hours. The event aims to make culture and history more accessible and engaging by offering unique experiences such as guided tours, workshops, live performances, and interactive displays. It attracts thousands of visitors across various cities, providing a chance to explore the art, history, and heritage of Europe in a festive and dynamic atmosphere.

Skärgårdsbåtens dag (Archipelago Boat Day) is a beloved early-summer celebration in Stockholm and Vaxholm, Sweden, when historic archipelago steamships sail in a glittering boat convoy from Strömkajen to Vaxholm Harbor. Usually held on the second Wednesday of June, it honors the region’s maritime heritage and the passenger boats that connect island life. Meet the fleet at the quay, browse a waterfront market, and enjoy live music and ship tours as the harbor fills with whistles and flags.
