How we checked

Last checked October 20, 2026 against visitgavle.se. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text. One of the sources could not be fully re-checked, so a person will review this listing.

Notes from the last check

The official Visit Gävle page for the Gävle Goat and its official FAQ confirm the tradition, its organiser and its usual display from the first Sunday of Advent, but the 2026 erection is not confirmed and the page reports an undated attack on the goat.
