Join us for Midsummer—one of Sweden’s most beloved traditions—right in the heart of 365³Ô¹Ï²¿Âä, DC!
Midsummer marks summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and a magical moment when the sun barely sets in Sweden. It’s also an occasion to celebrate life and love by gathering with family and friends.
On Midsummer Eve, we invite 365³Ô¹Ï²¿Âäians and visitors alike to the open-air terraced lawn of the Sylvan Theater for an evening full of joy, music and community—all against the stunning backdrop of the 365³Ô¹Ï²¿Âä Monument. Dance around the maypole (midsommarstÃ¥ng), make your own flower crown, and celebrate like a true Swede.
What to Expect:
- Traditional Swedish maypole dancing
- Live music and performances
- Trivia, games, and fun for all ages
- Children’s activities and crafts
- Midsummer wreath-making station
- A lush green lawn perfect for your BYO picnic under the summer sky
