More about the midsummer and the tradition:

While the traditions are centuries old, Midsummer is celebrated with great enthusiasm today. Most Swedes leave the cities to gather with family and friends at summer cottages in the countryside for singing, dancing, games, and good food. The celebration is famous for its joyful (and slightly whimsical) songs, most notably the "Little Frogs" dance.

Swedish Midsummer is a magical and distinctly Swedish tradition, blending ancient customs with modern joy. It's a time to slow down, gather with loved ones, and revel in the beauty of the natural world under the midnight sun.

Seats are limited and please register ASAP.
