Events in Ostersund
Östersund’s central location within Sweden makes it a natural choice for several events and festivals. If you fancy making one of the city’s celebrations the centrepiece of your visit, here’s a few of our top picks:
Biathlon World Championships
A combination of quick skiing and eagle-eyed marksmanship makes Biathlon one of the most challenging winter sports and with the world championships held in Östersund, you can enjoy a rare chance to see the most talented Biathletes in action.
Storsjöyran
One of the biggest Scandinavian music festivals, Storsjöyran takes place at the start of August and features both top acts from around the world as well as local talent. If you fancy a festival experience but want to avoid the prices of Glastonbury or V-Fest, this is a great option.
