Midsommar is almost here! 🇸🇪

Midsommar is a celebration of the summer solstice – the longest day of the year. It’s a time to welcome in summer and all its joys: warm weather, bountiful harvests, and plenty of sunlight. The festival has been celebrated in Sweden for centuries, with roots dating back to pagan times.

Today, Midsommar is a time when people across the country come together to celebrate their shared heritage. The festival typically lasts several days and involves a variety of customs including dancing around maypoles (known as Majstång), feasting on traditional foods like herring and potatoes (known as Smörgåsbord), and drinking shots of snaps/aquavit.

Want to celebrate? I will be sharing some local events for you to enjoy.

The longship. The battle axe. The clinker-built boat. Skiing. Even the hair comb. The Vikings were an inventive lot but little known to most, they played a huge role in shaping everyone's favorite time of the year: Christmas!
