Swedish Midsummer is this weekend, and we’ve got all the tips for you to enjoy the festivities wherever you are! midsummer MidsummersDay
Swedish Midsummer is coming up this weekend, and we’re giving everything you need to know to have a true celebration!
Now a celebration of the holidays, but Midsummer celebrations were traditionally held to welcome the season of fertility. Primarily a celebration for the young, it was also important to the industrial communities of central Sweden, where all mill employees were given a feast of pickled herring, beer and schnapps. Today, it is now a festival so large it rivals Christmas, with the streets of Stockholm falling silent for three days as residents flee to their summer houses with friends and family.In 1952, the Swedish Parliament decided that Midsummer should always be celebrated at a weekend.
We think Midsummer is a wonderful tradition to hold, as the Scandinavian winter nights are long, and our summers are short. Many of our team will be celebrating Midsummer this weekend, and if you’re in Sweden, be sure to join in with the festivities and enjoy the midnight sun!
