National Holiday

The school is closed and no care is available.

Many of the ceremonies that have emerged in Sweden on this day stem from the centuries-old, traditional May Day celebrations related to the celebration of spring and the rebirth taking place in nature.

In the modern era, the first of May has been celebrated in several ways since the 19th century. In the early part of the 19th century, it was a huge and popular festival hosted in Djurgarden Park that featured a royal procession. However, by the end of the 19th century, it turned more into a rally of industrial workers.

Many people to use this holiday to arrange peaceful protests and demonstrations about worker’s rights. These are often held outside of government buildings, or even down main town streets. In Stockholm during this time, you are likely going to encounter marchers throughout the city waving banners.
