I visited the Midsummer celebrations in Jordbro earlier today. A lot of singing and dancing around the Midsummer Pole with people from all over the world.
There was a midsummer celebration on one of Helsinki's islands, with a few bonfires. Big crowd turned up in the end.
Swedish strawberries finally!
Bought these today for SEK 30 per box of 500g.
Absolutely delicious!
Happy Midsummer!

Midsummer Watch Parade
The monk, Lucian, told of a Chester procession of clerics in the year 1195 and the annals mention a parade in 1397/8 but it was not until the mayorality of Richard Goodman who served from November 1498 until November 1499 (most modern writings place he Midsummer Watch in the year 1498 which is unproved) that the Wach on Midsummer Eve was first sett out and begonne. At every summer solstice, Cestrians would march through the streets carrying torches and wearing costumes during years when the famous Chester Mystery Plays were not performed.
(A similar practise was performed every midwinter - the Christmas Eve Watch was a candlelit procession which would go from the mayor's house to the Common Hall where the keys to the city gates would be given to the mayor who, in turn, entrusted them to the watchmen who would keep the city safe over the festive season.)
In 1564 the midsummer watch parade included: 4 gyants, 1 unikorne, 1 dromodarye, 1 luce, 1 camell, 1 dragon, 6 hobbyhorses and 16 naked boys.
Our group of merry friends celebrated the fact that from now (then) on the days will be shorter and we'll actually have real nights soon(ish). In a way, I get really depressed about it even though it's the brightest day of the year with hardly any dark hours at all. However. Friends and amusements!

Something i created since Midsummer celebrating is a very big thing here in Sweden. Image is ok to download if you like BUT i hope you give me the "credit" if you use it or display it.
It was a rainy midsummer but I managed to get this photoshoot of Samelia doing some midsummer magic and lighting a bonfire. Sun even started shining after 10pm which was nice.
