Embrace the magic of the longest day of the year - Midsummer Day - with fireworks, fairy tales, and flowers. Make your summer solstice sparkle!
Light up the sky and your spirits! Come June 29, we're ready to soak up the sun on Midsummer Day. This annual celebration has roots in ancient pagan customs that mark the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. From throwing festive bonfires to dancing around maypole, Midsummer Day is all about rejoicing the power and magic of the sun. Dive into the fairy tales and folklore that surround this joyous day and make the most out of the longer hours of daylight. Let's celebrate Midsummer Day with all the sparkle, spirit, and splendor it deserves!
Midsummer is traditionally associated with the magic of fairies. Use this day to create a fairy garden in your backyard. Incorporate elements like small flowers, moss, shiny objects, and small houses or castles for an enchanting feel.
Flower crowns are a staple of Midsummer celebrations. Gather your friends and organize a flower crown making workshop. You can use fresh flowers from your own garden or buy some from a local florist. Enjoy crafting while enjoying the sunshine outdoors.
Make the most of the longest day by starting early with a sunrise picnic. Choose a location that will provide the best view of dawn breaking and have a breakfast picnic spread to enjoy the majesty of a new day.
Dancing around the maypole is a traditional Midsummer activity. You could adapt this by enacting a sun dance, where you celebrate the sun and its warmth by performing a joyful, energetic dance.
End the longest day of the year with a bang! Create a bonfire in your backyard—safely and responsibly—and invite friends and family. Enjoy the balmy evening telling stories, roasting marshmallows, and watching the flames flicker into the starry night.
