Kungsträdgården

Welcome to this year&#x27;s traditional Christmas market in Kungsträdgården. Here you can buy unique Christmas gifts directly from students from the city&#x27;s schools. You will find crafts, home furnishings, art, design, technology, fashion, accessories, jewelry, food and drink and more. Many of the goods are created by the young people themselves, who during an academic year at school run their own companies with real products.

Maria Jane Smith har alltid varit en berättare. Som barn ville hon bli författare men lärde sig spela gitarr och gjorde istället om sina personliga berättelser till sånger. I tonåren bildade hon folkpopduon Smith &amp; Thell tillsammans med Victor Thell. Deras debut “Soulprints” från 2017 resulterade i två guldskivor och hits som “Forgive Me Friend” och “Hotel Walls” toppade radiolistor i Sverige, USA och Norge med över 200m streams. År 2020 vann även Smith &amp; Thell en Grammis för Årets Låtskrivare.
