Midsommar is a favorite Swedish holiday celebrating the beginning of summer when daylight lingers long into the night in this northern land People in Sweden erect midsummer poles with leafy birch branches and wildflowers. Music fills the air, lively dancing ensues, and merriment continues well into the night. Edited from: http://eventful.com/stpaul/events/midsommar-/E0-001-004388018-3
