Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gothenburg quadricentennial jubilee (Swedish: Göteborg 2021) was originally scheduled to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2021 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the city. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, organizers have postponed the celebrations to 2023, while a small-scale event will still take place in 2021.[1] The anniversary follows the city's tricentennial jubilee held in 1923 (which was intended to be held in 1921, but was delayed due to World War I).[2]

The city was granted its founding royal charter in 1621, by King Gustavus Adolphus.

Themes

The executive committee appointed to plan the celebrations is focusing on seven themes:

  1. Green Town
  2. City of Culture
  3. Knowledge City
  4. Young Town
  5. Experience The City
  6. Growing Town
  7. Open Town
