(cc photo courtesy of oskarlin)It's Archipelago Boat Day in Stockholm, another reason to celebrate the late evening, June sunshine in Sweden. Weather.com says the sun will set in Stockholm at 9:52 pm, plenty of time to catch some rays after work if you want to join in on this 45-year old tradition (and if the weather cooperates, as the forecast calls for party sunny skies approaching sunset).
Many Stockholmers take time to enjoy the late spring/early summertime weather with this unofficial holiday every June called "Skärgårdsbåtens dag," in which classic steamboats (a steamboat parade) take you on a 90-minute party cruise from Central Stockholm to Vaxholm in the Stockholm archipelago, (Skärgården in Swedish, literal translation: "the garden on the rocks"). The boats leave at 6:15 pm. Ahhh...summer in Sweden.
