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.
Northern Norway is bathed in light in summer. The constant daylight lasts for four whole months on Svalbard, two and a half months at the North Cape, two months in Tromsø and over a month in Bodø. From the sculptural summits of Helgeland, the midnight sun can be seen dipping into the sea at midsummer. Summer nights can be spent climbing the nearest mountain, enjoying outdoor festivals or going fishing. Kayaking in the archipelago, boat rides to bird cliffs, whale watching and bike rides on winding coastal roads
Mosjøen one of the most charming cities in northern Norway. Also has one of Norway’s finest tourist ports.
The Arctic Circle Centre is situated by the E6 highway at Saltfjellet in the county of Nordland. It is also situated in a national park with wonderful hiking opportunities.
In the area around the centre, there are Russian and Yugoslavian war memorials from World War II. The centre's architecture is adapted to the surrounding nature, and a path made of marble shows how the Arctic Circle runs through the centre.
