Midsummer and Magical Winter Customs
Midsummer is one of Sweden’s most cherished traditions and is celebrated at the summer solstice with festive gatherings, dancing around the Midsummer Pole, and making flower wreaths. Winter in Sweden also offers its magic, with the celebration of Lucia illuminating the dark months and Christmas markets transforming cities into glittering winter wonderlands.
