A celebration of love in Stockholm
This year, The King and Queen are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Their golden wedding anniversary will be celebrated in Stockholm on 13 June with a cortège and a concert.
Welcome to a celebration of love in Stockholm! Celebrate The King and Queen and their golden wedding anniversary along the cortège route – the same route taken on their wedding day in 1976 – and watch popular artists perform a musical tribute spanning 50 years in Kungsträdgården. In keeping with the romantic theme, wedding ceremonies can be booked at Strömparterren on this day.
