Denmark Constitution Day 2024
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Denmark Constitution Day or Grundlovsdag! The public holiday commemorates the signing of the Constitution of Denmark, as well as its four revisions that happened near June 5th. On this day in 1849, the original constitution was passed, marking the beginning of a new national era and identity.
On Constitution Day, the red and white Danish flag (or Dannebrog) can be seen flying high across the country — just like in today’s artwork. Many attend extravagant parades, lively concerts, high-spirited rallies, and other festive events to show their pride. Friends and families gather in public parks to host picnics and barbecues full of pølser (hotdogs), smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and more!
Happy Constitution Day, Denmark!
