What is it all about?
The longest day of the year is (one of) the most important event for Finns. After a long winter, it is finally time to kick off the summer holidays. Midsummer, or in the Finnish language, the so-called Juhannus, was a popular time for weddings, fertility, or love spells. Nowadays, most of the Finns head to their beloved summer cottages to celebrate the Midsummer with their friends and family. Barbequing, spelling, fishing, boating, or playing the popular mölkky game are typical parts of the celebrations.
