Every year on 6th June, Sweden celebrates its National Day (Sveriges nationaldag) — a public holiday commemorating two historic events: the election of King Gustav Vasa in 1523, which marked the foundation of modern Sweden, and the adoption of the 1809 Instrument of Government, which established constitutional monarchy and separated powers.

The day was originally celebrated as "Flag Day" (Svenska flaggans dag) from 1916, but became the official National Day in 1983. It became a public holiday in 2005. Today, it is celebrated with flag‑raising ceremonies, royal appearances, cultural events, and traditional Swedish foods.
