Swedish flag to fly on Auckland Harbour Bridge

The flag of Sweden will fly from Auckland Harbour Bridge on Tuesday 6 June, in recognition of the Swedish National Day. The flag will be flown from 6:30am until 6:30pm.

Transit considers requests from nations wanting to commemorate their country’s national days. Recently the Italian, Samoan and Argentine flags have all flown on the bridge.
