Swedish Finns' Day

February 24, 2024

On 24 February it is Day of the Swedish Finns. Swedish Finns are a national minority group in Sweden, estimated at just over 700,000 people.

That 24 February was chosen The reason for making the history, language and culture of the Swedish-Finnish minority visible as part of the Swedish cultural heritage is that it is the birthday of the folklorist Carl Axel Gottlund. He lived between 1796 and 1875 and was a Finnish folklorist and author.
