Scandinavia comes alive during Midsummer in late June, when locals celebrate with flower crowns, outdoor feasts, and nearly endless daylight near the Arctic Circle. As the sun dips low but never disappears, the sky glows with watercolor hues and bonfires, wildflowers, and maypole dances mark the region’s most treasured traditions. It’s an authentic and vibrant tribute to light, nature, and togetherness and one of the most immersive and cultural experiences of the Nordic summer.

Some midsummer celebrations include:

SWEDEN 

There is perhaps no better place to celebrate Midsummer than in Dalarna, Sweden. Known for its deep-rooted traditions and rural charm, Midsummer in Dalarna feels like stepping into a Swedish fairy tale with its charming cottages, flower-crowned dancers and crystal-clear lakes reflecting the sunset for hours on end. Visitors are welcome to join locals for the celebrations, including raising the maypole and dancing to folk music. Midsummer in Dalarna is more than just a celebration- it is deeply tied to Sweden’s identity, heritage and the rhythm of the seasons.

DENMARK 

Denmark celebrates Sankt Hans Aften during the Midsummer period, and it is best enjoyed near the coast or in a charming small town where traditions are strong. Skagen at Denmark’s northernmost point offers a dreamy, coastal Midsummer with long sunsets and bonfires right on the beach. If something more cosmopolitan is desired, look no further than Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Visitors will find a lively, family friendly Sankt Hans celebration with bonfires, music and traditional food. Several of the city’s parks also host public bonfires for all to join in.

NORWAY 

There is perhaps no better place to celebrate Midsummer in Norway than near the Lofoten Islands. Located within the Arctic Circle, visitors will experience true Midnight Sun as the sun never sets! Small villages in the region will hold traditional bonfires on beaches or rocky outcrops, creating dramatic scenes against the glowing sky. Visitors can also visit Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city, surrounded by fjords and mountains for bonfires along the waterfront and musical performances.
