In Jönköping, Sweden, young people gather every year over the Easter weekend in the car park by the IKEA to have a party. It’s illegal, but it’s tolerated. Perhaps because the authorities realise there’s absolutely nothing for young people to do in the country. So they really let their hair down. As early as 8 o’clock in the morning, they set off from home in lowered new Volvos or old Cadillacs, loaded with booze and stereos. By the time they arrive in Jönköping, usually a few hours’ drive away, everyone is, of course, already drunk. The party then goes on until midnight. The drivers stay perfectly sober, clearly having far less fun. The music is blasted into the air by massive stereos; wherever it’s loudest, that’s where the biggest party is. The atmosphere is raw and wild, but always fun and safe. #asecs #jönköping #elmia #biltreffen
