It takes place on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, typically falling between June 20th and 26th. Midsummer Eve traditions are dancing around the Maypole, picking flowers, and enjoying traditional Swedish food and drink.
Flowers play a significant role in Midsummer celebrations. Women and girls often wear flower crowns made of wildflowers, especially of birch leaves and seven different types of flowers. It is believed that placing seven different flowers under your pillow on Midsummer Eve will make you dream of your future spouse.
Many Swedes celebrate by gathering with friends and family in the countryside or by the sea. Traditional Midsummer meals often include herring, potatoes, sour cream, and a variety of other dishes, such as smoked salmon, meatballs, and strawberries with cream.
Lighting bonfires are believed to ward off evil spirits and provide protection against witches. It is common to gather around the bonfire, sing songs, and engage in merriment as the fire crackles and burns. In addition to the cultural traditions, Midsummer Eve is a time when many Swedes take their summer vacations, as it is considered the peak of the summer season.
