Lappis Scream in Stockholm 2024-2025
Every Tuesday at 10 pm, everyone in the student complex in Stockholm opens their windows and screams for several minutes
Best time: late August–early June
If you are near Lappis (a residential area in Norra Djurgården in central-eastern Stockholm) and wonder what to do, check out the student housing area of Stockholm. Every Tuesday at 10 pm, you can hear a chorus of screams of over 2000 students. It’s a tradition that lasts for decades and is called Anxiety Scream (Ångestskriket).
Anyone is welcome to join this night shouting and let their hair down. Sometimes, we all need to shout as loud as possible to let all our emotions out, and it seems like a great chance to do it. Plus, no one will look at you as a weirdo. It’s believed that this tradition started as a reaction to the stress caused by university exams. So, don’t miss a chance to join Swedish students and have a great time. The best time to join Anxiety Scream is from late August until early June.
