Tips for National Day with Kids
Dress in blue and yellow
National Day is the one day a year everyone wears flag colours. Bring small flags for the kids — it makes the whole experience more festive.
Arrive early for the parade
Many celebrations start with a flag parade in the morning. Arrive 20–30 minutes before to get a good spot along the route.
Bring your own fika
Most celebrations sell hot dogs and drinks, but queues can be long. Bring sandwiches and juice — cheaper and easier with kids.
