Catch the Playoff Fever at the Bandy Semi-Final
It’s do-or-die time at “Studan”! IK Sirius Bandy faces Edsbyn in an intense semi-final showdown, and you can expect speed, skill, and a roaring blue-and-black crowd. Wrap up warm and arrive early to soak up the atmosphere — before and after the match, food, drinks, and entertainment await in the arena tent area. This is Swedish bandy at its absolute best. Don’t miss it!
March 6, 2026 – Uppsala Castle, Vasasalen
Taste Your Way Back to the 1970s at Uppsala Castle
How did Sweden taste in the 70s? Think pineapple in casseroles, retro classics, and bold culinary experiments. Food historian Richard Tellström invites you to a delicious evening of stories, nostalgia, and insight into one of Sweden’s most distinctive food decades. A three-course dinner inspired by the era — with a modern twist — is served in the beautiful Vasasalen. History, humor, and great food in a castle setting? Yes, please.
Event in Swedish.
March 6, 2026 – Café Plaza
Live Out Your Rockstar Dreams at Live Karaoke
Ever dreamed of singing with a real band behind you? This is your moment. At Café Plaza, Trubadurerna host a live karaoke night where you don’t just sing along to a track — you perform with a band. Pick your song, grab the mic, and step into the spotlight. Expect big energy, great vibes, and a night you’ll talk about long after the last chord fades. Seats are limited — book ahead if you want to secure your spot!
March 7–8, 2026 – The Orangery, Botanical Garden
Celebrate first Tuesday of March with Cake (Obviously)
The first Thursday in March has become a beloved Swedish tradition — celebrating dialect and indulging in “massipantåta” (marzipan cake, aka princess cake). Originally a Småland phenomenon, it’s now a nationwide excuse to gather friends and enjoy fika with a proper green, fluffy cake. Head to one of Uppsala’s cozy cafés and join the sweetest linguistic celebration of the year.
