Tomorrow, June 6th is Sweden's National Day! It is a day filled with flags, songs, and good food together with family and friends.

In 2004, the Swedish parliament voted to make it a public holiday. The King and Queen of Sweden take part in a ceremony at Skansen, Stockholm’s open-air museum, on the National Day. The yellow and blue Swedish flag is run up the mast, and children in traditional peasant costume present the royal couple with bouquets of summer flowers. Special ceremonies welcoming new Swedish citizens are also usually held around the country on National Day. (taken from Sweden.se article)

We thank @LearnSwedishNowLLC for this list of fantastic Swedish recipes, history, the national song, and a link to the celebration at Skansen in Stockholm!
