06JUN2018 - Holiday Today - Sweden

Sweden - National Day
June 6 is National Day of Sweden. This holiday is regarded as one of the most important ones in the country.
National Day of Sweden was introduced in 1916 at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium to honor the election of King Gustav Vasa in 1523. This day is considered as the foundation of Sweden. This event also marked the end of Kalmar Union, when Sweden was ruled by Denmark, thus the country gained its independence. However, these events happened so many years ago, that they don't have much importance for the modern holiday.
