Swedes celebrate their National Day (
Sveriges nationaldag) on 6 June in honour of two
historical events. On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected king, and on
the same date in 1809, the country adopted a new constitution. Not known
for displaying their national pride, this day offers a rare chance to
see Swedes waving their flag about (

I am not there yet but i follow these celebrations and traditions closely so i can enjoy them next year when i will be there, ready to take photos and have fun! In this short post i will only show you some nice photos i found searching for it's origins!
