Overview of Midsommar Celebration
Date and Timing:
Midsommar is typically celebrated on the Friday and Saturday closest to the summer solstice, which is around June 21st.
Maypole (Majstång):
A central activity is the raising of the maypole, a tall wooden pole decorated with flowers and greenery. This usually takes place in a communal area, and people dance around it in traditional patterns.
Traditional Attire:
Many Swedes wear traditional costumes, including floral wreaths (flower crowns) on their heads. These are often handmade from local flowers and greenery.
Food and Drink:
The Midsommar feast includes herring, new potatoes with dill, sour cream, and chives. Strawberries with cream are a popular dessert. Aquavit, a type of Scandinavian schnapps, is commonly consumed, accompanied by singing traditional drinking songs (snapsvisor).
Dancing and Singing:
Folk songs and dances are a significant part of the celebration. Traditional dances are performed around the maypole, and people sing both old and contemporary songs.
Games and Activities:
Outdoor games such as sack races, tug-of-war, and other communal activities are common. The celebration often extends into the night with bonfires and sometimes fireworks.
Nature and Tradition:
Midsommar is closely linked to nature and the celebration of light, as it marks the longest day of the year. It is a time for Swedes to appreciate their natural surroundings and enjoy the brief but beautiful Swedish summer.
