Happy National Day!
On June 6, 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected king, laying the foundation for Sweden as an independent state. Over 500 years ago!
Sweden’s National Day also commemorates the adoption of a new constitution in 1809, a key milestone in the country’s democratic history.
How do we celebrate this public holiday?
It’s a day to pause, reflect, and appreciate what Sweden stands for: openness, equality, and community. Many will spend the day with family and loved ones, enjoying traditions, good food, and hopefully some sunshine!
Glad nationaldag!
