It was full of people celebrating the national day on Strömsholmen in central Eskilstuna where Kulturskolan, Flen’s world orchestra and Eskilstuna gardet were part of the entertainment.
As part of the national day celebrations, attention was drawn to the new Swedish citizens. Nationally, last year 89,000 people were granted Swedish citizenship.
Important day
Anne-Sofie Wågström (S), chair of the City Council, welcomed the new Swedish citizens from the stage.
– We have chosen to have this ceremony on our national day because we think it is important for Sweden and our citizens.
