best of arts and culture that the city has to offer. One of Sweden’s
biggest city festivals, the Gothenburg Culture Festival
combines a giant street party atmosphere with high culture at its
finest with ballet, street theatre and all sorts of music from jazz to
hip-hop to the symphony orchestra. A wide array of street food is also
on offer with pickings from all over the globe, including traditional
Swedish fare tempting passers-by as they amble towards art exhibitions
or poetry readings happening during the festival.Food | Kivik Apple Market
27 – 28 SeptemberLong the hub of Sweden’s fruit production and distribution, Kivik set up the Apple Market to pay homage to the fruit industry of the area and today it is a full-blown festival that combines creativity and productivity in one event. A free festival at the end of the country’s harvesting season, the Apple Market not only shows off the produce in all its various forms (pies, desserts, cider and more) but also brings a certain level of artistic expression to the proceedings with the ‘apple art’ showcasing great mosaics of colourful imagery from the humble fruit as well as events such as apple tasting and a visit to a cider brewery.

Best of all, entry into every last one of them is absolutely free with music, art, dance and theatre performances all being staged at various venues throughout the city.
