About
Sweden's National Day has been celebrated at Skansen since 1893, when the museum's founder, Artur Hazelius, chose the date. Back then, thousands of schoolchildren marched here waving blue and yellow flags. During the day there are activities for visitors of all ages. The evening program, held in the presence of the royal family, brings music, speeches and banner presentations. Younger kids get the most out of the daytime.
