Each summer just after Midsummer, the far-northern Swedish town of Pajala holds one of Norrbotten's largest markets, a fair with roots in the 1700s. Hundreds of stalls fill the square and streets for three days, in a lively gathering that keeps alive the trading traditions and Tornedalian culture of the Torne Valley.
