Midsummer is a celebration of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, but it is also a celebration of life and love. The Midsummer traditions involve picking flowers, dreaming about your future love, wearing flower wreaths, eating traditional food, and dancing around a maypole.
Midsummer Eve in Sweden is always on a Friday between 19 and 25 June.
