The Liberian Swedish Association (LSA) is thrilled to announce a two-day celebration in Stockholm to commemorate Liberia's 177th year of independence on Saturday, August 3rd, and Sunday, August 4th, 2024.
Although Liberia's official Independence Day is on July 26th, this year’s celebration in Stockholm was rescheduled to avoid overlapping with a joint event in Wolfsburg, Germany, organized by the European Federation of Liberian Associations (EFLA) and the Liberian Association in Deutschland (LAD).
The two-day event in Stockholm will celebrate Liberia's rich culture and heritage through music, dance, and performances. Attendees can enjoy traditional Liberian cuisine and popular music. There will also be sporting activities, including football and kickball matches, enhancing the festive atmosphere. Everyone is invited to join in honoring Liberia's independence and the freedoms it represents.
Here is the schedule for this year's celebration in Stockholm:
DAY 1:
Saturday, August 3rd - Afternoon (Meet and Greet/Sports Day)
- The day will kick off with a football match at Hägerstensåsen BP, Personnevägen 35, Hägersten, from 14:00 to 18:00. Women and girls will also showcase their skills in a kickball match.

Sunday, August 4th-Barbecue/BBQ

The LSA leadership invites the entire LSA community and the public to attend and show their support. This celebration offers a wonderful opportunity to come together and honor Liberia's hard-earned independence.
