The story
Shockholm began in 2011 with a simple idea: to create a Halloween celebration for everyone – big, small, spooky, silly, and everything in between.
What started as a grassroots parade quickly grew into Scandinavias’s largest Halloween event. Year after year, thousands of people come together in costume to walk, watch, dance, and celebrate creativity in the streets of Stockholm. From kids and families to artists, dogs and drag queens – everyone is welcome.
Now, as we celebrate 15 years, the heart of Shockholm is still the same: togetherness, imagination, and a little Halloween magic.
