to celebrate/celebration
Festyra, I think means to celebrate or celebration.
Guests from all over the world come to celebrate for many days.
If I'm not mistaken, Daniel Westling will be married to his fiance, Victoria, who is the Crown Princess of Sweden in June.

: I didn't think they were getting married until next year. Learn something new every day.

Yes, I miread the article on Wiki. You're correct. In 2010, not 2009.

: Is there a point to Swedish being so bad? If this was to be copied it would read something like "Guests from the whole world will partying days multiple"

No intention to be rude, but it makes the translator harder to understand the source text. I think that is one of the reason why the asker has posted this question. :-)

celebrate
A somewhat strange way of putting it in Swedish.
Another ideas: enjoy the celebrations, participate in the celebrations

: To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out the phrase" festyra i dagarna flera". Shouldn't it be festyra i flera dagarna?

Yes, almost: "festa i flera dagar" would be a more normal way of putting it.

Why not?! And as others have remarked, the original text is "dodgy" ie very strange usage of the Swedish language.
