The former Wernamo is first mentioned as a place around the 1230s in the oldest writings. But it was not until 1920 that Värnamo went from town to town and thus gained city rights and an administrative unit.

Created website

To celebrate the centenary, the municipality has created a website where anyone who wants to learn more can read about Värnamo's history and see old newspaper clippings.

- We want it to be easy to see what happens during the year and at the same time tell about the city and inspire more people to create events and activities. That is why we have made our own website for the 100-year-old, ”says Maria Berglund, destination developer in Värnamo municipality in a press release.

Must be 100 activities

The goal is to organize 100 activities in 2020 that will be accessible to anyone who wants to celebrate. Already, several events are booked.

- There will be everything from skicross competition to exhibitions, anniversary concert with the School of Culture and fashion shows, writes the municipality in the press release.
