    I have often wanted to go to Sweden in later summer, early autumn. I sure there are lot of beautiful things to see.

    I find Sweden interesting and would love to visit, so could a native please be kind enough to explain the reason for celebration and what occurs of the day?

    That's just what I do every May, nothing wrong with being a happy Pagan!

    My late father would have looked at that last picture and said "don't bother with the wrap, I'll eat it here!" :P

    Happy Midsummer (or Sonnewendfeuer as we of the German traditions would say) to all my Swedish cousins!

    Many thanks, and will do. The Swedish seem like a good crew to have a hell of a time with. :)

    That has to be the coolest day of all time. I am/never will be a drinker, but damn does it look like an amazing time. Good luck to you, @DiscoVolante, as well as your family and friends on this day. May it be the greatest Midsummer yet. Drink a dozen nubbe for me! :D

    Lovely video, indeed. Again, festivities I missed, after ending up in Copenhagen just a week before distortion. Oh well. Anyway, I take it many have enjoyed their fertility-feast? Disco? ;)

    Happy Midsummer to all Swedish.

    Zlatan must be glad that he can celebrate at home this year as he is celebrating his vacation.
