In Kungsträdgården in stockholm, the cherry trees were first planted in the 1950s as a gift from the Japanese government to the city of Stockholm. It’s a folk festival every year when the cherry trees burst out & for a few short, intense days at the turn of April – May the crowds are large & there’s pure joy in the air.
Sweden’s National Day, June 6, a day when most people are free. There’s a thought to it – to simply have time to celebrate, relax & rejoice.
But just the day itself, June 6, is a perfect day to celebrate the country, the people and the turning point between spring & summer when Sweden is dressed in summer attire & for many is the most beautiful.
