A jubilee is an anniversary of an event. It usually marks the 25th, 40th, 50th, 60th, or the 70th anniversary. In modern times, many monarchs have jubilees to celebrate a number of years that they have been on the throne. For example, in 2023, Carl XVI Gustaf is celebrating his Golden Jubilee (50 years).
