April's Fool's Day: this is a day for pranksters and jokes, with trickery taking place across the country. Join in and try to fool someone! 

Easter celebrations take place on three different days - Good Friday, Easter Day and Easter Monday – with Easter Day being most people’s favourite day, when chocolate eggs are hidden and found. The day before Good Friday, known as Maundy Thursday, is also a shortened workday for Swedes. There is also a school holiday over Easter, so expect a lot of schoolchildren at popular attractions during this time. 

Walpurgis Night: the arrival of spring is celebrated at the very end of April, with festivities varying depending on what part of the country you are in, with popular events including bonfires, speeches and fireworks. This is also a shortened work day for most people.
