Åland's Autonomy Day (or Åland's Self-Government Day; Swedish: Ålands självstyrelsedag) is celebrated annually on 9 June in memory of Åland County Council's (since 1993 Åland's Parliament) first meeting on this date in 1922.[2][3][4] Åland's self-government from Finland was established by the League of Nations in 1921, after the Åland Movement raised the issue of island reunification with Sweden.[5][4]
Provisions on Åland's Autonomy Day can be found in the Provincial Act (1976: 26) on Åland's Autonomy Day. According to the Provincial Act (1992: 41) on the Åland flag, Autonomy Day is the official flag day on Åland.[6]
On June 9, 2021, the 100th anniversary of self-government began, with the aim of celebrating Åland’s autonomy in a variety of ways throughout the year.[7]
