The Gävle Goat of 2009
The Swedish Gävle goat in 2006.
The Gävle Goat (Gävlebocken) is a traditional Christmas display erected annually at Slottstorget ("Castle Square") in central Gävle. It is a giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule Goat figure made of straw, and is erected each year at the beginning of Advent over a period of two days[1][2] by local community groups.
It is notable for being a recurring target for vandalism by arson, and has been destroyed several times since the first goat was erected in 1966.
