“Ja vårn, ja, ja vårn, ja, tjong fadeladeli, dä ä e fina ti! Da stecker sä ur jola, å guschelôv för sola, ho ä så gla å bli!”

Gustaf Fröding in his poem about spring from 1894.

An Action-Packed Easter Weekend for the Whole Family

What would Good Friday be without the annual MC Parade in Kristinehamn? Every year, around 500 to 1500 motorcycles participate in this parade, which has become a true sign of spring. Take the chance to stroll through shops and enjoy a bite at one of the cafés or restaurants open for the occasion.

Looking for an Easter adventure with friends or family? At Boda Borg in Karlskoga, you can take on fun challenges, stay overnight, and enjoy special Easter deals on food and lodging.

Maximize the Easter Weekend with Revues, Theatre, and Dance

What is an Easter weekend without music, theatre, and revue? During the spring, Vakten vid Rhen is playing at Tempelriddaren in Karlstad. Be sure to see this thrilling drama on Maundy Thursday. On Maundy Thursday, the Munkforsrevyn’s locally produced performance will also premiere, offering plenty of laughs. In the neighboring municipality of Sunne, the Sunne Music and Revue Association will stage Galan 2025 at Teaterbiografen in Sunne. Enjoy the action-packed show with fast-paced dance and song numbers, and entertaining sketches on Good Friday, Easter Saturday, or Easter Sunday.

Read Locally Produced Easter Crime

What is an Easter weekend without Easter crime? From our neighboring country to the west comes the tradition of reading crime novels during the Easter weekend, a tradition that has also begun to take root in Sweden. Be sure to read locally produced crime from Karin Aspenström or Nyström and Mohlin. Or why not one of Sunne-based Helene Tursten’s books about Criminal Inspector Irene Huss? Perhaps you’d like to read about northern Värmland in Lars Andersson’s novel “De våra. En kriminalistisk roman,” or about Hagfors and its surroundings in Ninni Schulman’s Hagfors series?

Even the children should get their locally produced Easter crime. Per Gustavsson, who grew up in Arvika, has written thrilling novels for the little ones, such as “Skuggsidan” and “Den fasansfulla sagan om Lilla Hen.” Sit at an outdoor café or in a sunny corner and binge-read during the Easter weekend.

Happy Easter!
