Swedish traditional music (the Swedish word is folkmusik) is definitely alive, and there are lots of people all over Sweden who play it. Someone who plays traditional music is called a spelman.
The most common instrument in Swedish music is the fiddle (fiol). In fact it is so common that many people translate spelman as fiddle player. Many people also play different kinds of accordeon (dragspel). Quite a few people play the clarinet.
An instrument which is unique to Sweden is the nyckelharpa (key fiddle), which is like a hurdy-gurdy played with a bow instead of a wheel.

Hot air baloon in Sweden
Stockholm becomes a fantasy destination for balloonists each summer, when they get to enjoy romantic sunset aerial cruises over the city. Stockholm's far northern latitude makes the summer days very long, extending twilight and allowing safe and spectacular night flying. With predictable summer air conditions and over twenty good landing sites in the city's environs, sunset ballooning is not only possible here—it is the custom. Ninety percent of the commercial balloon flights lift off at dusk. The evening light combines with the unique pleasure of gliding over the shimmering lights of the capital make this a balloon vacation to remember.
