Gothenburg quadricentennial jubilee

Short description: 400th anniversary celebrations of the city of Gothenburg in Sweden

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.
