June 6 is the National Day of Sweden! 🎉 And do you know what's strange about this day? We don't know how to celebrate it! Swedes all over the country celebrate this public holiday in different ways, but one thing is sure: blue and yellow flags will be waving from flagpoles all over the country.
The date stems from two important events in the history of Sweden: Gustav Vasa was elected king on 6 June 1523 – which laid the foundation for Sweden as an independent state – and Sweden adopted a new constitution on 6 June 1809.
