Jokkmokk Winter Market
The small town of Jokkmokk, also on Inlandsbanan, is just north of the Arctic Circle and started as a Sami market and mission. Since 1605 the Jokkmokk Winter Market has taken place here; the three-day event attracts some 30,000 people and starts on the first Thursday in February. If you're interested in Sami handicrafts this is the place to go.
