Mittsommerabend in 🇫🇮 Finnland

Midsummer Eve (Juhannusaatto) is Finland's most celebrated summer holiday; Finns retreat to lakeside cottages, light massive bonfires (kokko), and observe traditions surrounding love and magic in the near-endless daylight.

Finnish and Swedish public holiday on the Friday before Midsummer Day, celebrated with bonfires, sauna bathing, folk dancing around the midsummer pole, and outdoor parties marking the summer solstice.
