Åland's Autonomy Day, or Åland's Self-Government Day (Swedish: Ålands självstyrelsedag), is celebrated annually on 9 June to commemorate the first meeting of the Åland County Council (renamed the Parliament of Åland in 1993) on that date in 1922. Åland's self-government from Finland was established in 1921 by a decision of the League of Nations, following the Åland Movement's demand for reunification with Sweden.
