We love watching all the photographers (and plein air painters) who come to our region and take home pictures of what they see here. Whether it's the river, the architecture, the people (or the dogs!), the bluffs, the eagles, the boats, or the population sign, everyone notices something new.
We live here because of those views but we are enchanted when we see yours.
Once in awhile we stumble across your photos and your blog posts and it's always a thrill.
Would anyone like to send us their pictures or their memories of Lake Pepin or Stockholm, Wisconsin?
Just email them to stockholmmerchantsassociation at gmail.com or post them to our Facebook page.
We'd love to include them in our own photo gallery.

Building Boom in Stockholm
Lots of hammering in Stockholm these days
We have caught the remodeling itch in Stockholm. The new SideSpot Stage is being built in the garden adjacent to the Spring Street Arts Building that houses WideSpot Performing Arts Center, Abode Gallery, Stockholm Pie Company, and Stockholm General. The Spring Street Inn has restored the open porch that faces the garden and Highway 35. Out of The Blue Gallery is adding a covered patio and display area along and over the sidewalk to the main side entry. All three projects are enhancing Stockholm’s charm and will add to your enjoyment when you visit.

What is up With The Blue Bikes?
We'd heard of other destinations offering blue bikes free for visitors to ride and thought that some Stockholm visitors might like to pedal around rather than walk. With our visitors in mind, the merchants found some easy-to-ride bikes, painted them blue, and placed them in the rack near the intersection of Highway 35 and Spring Street. Visitors tell us that the bikes enable them to cover more ground more quickly, see more of Stockholm, and slip in a little exercise. They can have a little extra fun without bringing their own bike.
You are welcome to use a bike to pedal around Stockholm the next time you are in town. You do not need to check it out. Just go to the rack, select one from those that are there, and ride. Our only request is that you return the bike to one of the four racks in the village when you are finished so that others may easily enjoy it, too.
Check out the blue bikes on your next visit to Stockholm. If you are in town on a rainy day, use one of the blue umbrellas that you will find in the stores. We have those for your use, too, as well as the community "blue bowls" that you will see around town for our four-legged friends!
We'd love to see you again,
Stockholm Merchants
Small Village...Big Arts
Small town charm, old world roots, world class culture.
