There’s a scene ingrained in the collective Swedish subconscious: A maypole clad in birch leaves and flowers, with 2 wreaths hanging from the cross’s outstretched arms; a long table set for a party on a veranda; bowls filled with strawberries; and the guests, many crowned with wreaths of flowers, who will eat, drink, sing and dance into the wee hours of the year’s longest day. Midsummer, a celebration of the summer solstice, is one of the most important holidays on the calendar in #Sweden. Festivities commence on #Midsommarafton, or Midsummer’s Eve, which is always a Friday in late June. Historians trace midsummer celebrations to pagan festivals, but most modern traditions solidified in the 1900s. The only absolute must? Nature. @davidbtorch took this photo last June during #midsummer festivities in #Leksand, Sweden. For those who are unable to retreat to the countryside, @skansen, an open-air museum and zoo in Stockholm, hosts a 3-day celebration. | This week, @nytimestravel is exploring 9 European festivals worth traveling for, from Sweden to Macedonia.
