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.
The Cape Ann Shakespeare Troupe are presenting "Shakespeare in Two Acts", consisting in two adaptations of works by The Bard: "Love on a Midsummer Night" and "Visiting Lear". Both have reduced casts and shortened scripts (1 hour each) that give most of the story in the original words (with some narrative summaries to move things along) are very creative and well presented.

Midsommarkransbindning, ie binding the midsummer flower wreath (the purple and whitepinkish flowers, video with the purple kind here). Also included white flocked flowers were hundkäx ie cow parsley. Here you can see the blue ish thread I used. Although sister E did the core from lilac, so thank you for that!

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.
On Saturday June 25, 2010, we attended Peter Felfe and Active Ideas Productions' Midsummer Celebration (A Swedish & German Summer Celebration), Southampton, New York. This event featured art exhibits from artists Annika Connor and Martina Molin. There were performances by Vivien Schweitzer and Robert Boston, who are both pianists, and Niranjana Shankar, singer. Special guests in attendance include Gerard Araud, French Ambassador to the UN, and Pascal Blondeau, French artist/photographer. It truly was a beautiful celebration.
