Celebrate Sweden’s National Day
Hurra för Sverige!
On June 5, Swedes all over the world will be celebrating the National Day of Sweden. This day is observed in honor of Gustav Vasa’s election as king in 1523 and the country’s adoption of a new constitution in 1809.
Sweden may be halfway across the world, but that won’t stop us from celebrating in the States. Here are a few ways you can celebrate Sweden’s National Day anywhere in the word.
- Start by blasting Sweden’s national anthem, “Du Gamla, Du Fria.”
- Hoist your Swedish flag up high!
- Break out your favorite Swedish gear, or sport something blue and yellow.
- Indulge in a Swedish Smörgåsbord.
