About National Day of Sweden
Sweden's National Day falls on 6 June, marking two milestones in the nation's history: the election of Gustav Vasa as king in 1523, which laid the foundation for an independent Sweden, and the adoption of a new constitution in 1809. Long observed as the Swedish Flag Day, it became an official public holiday only in 2005, replacing Whit Monday.
The blue-and-yellow flag flies everywhere, and the royal family takes part in celebrations at the Skansen open-air museum in Stockholm, where the King and Queen receive flowers. Towns host concerts, parades, and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new Swedes. Many people wear traditional folk costumes, and communities gather for outdoor festivities blending national pride with the arrival of the bright Nordic summer.
