Get ready for Sweden’s most romantic, magical, and fun holiday: Midsummer
Scandinavian organizations across the United States are busily preparing for the upcoming Midsummer events. And prepared they have! Expect grand celebrations in every corner of the country, thanks to organizations like the Swedish Consulates, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, SWEA, the Vasa Order, and many more.
We’ve done our utmost to compile all events in one place, but some may have escaped our notice. If you find an event missing from our guide, please reach out to the Swedes in the States team on social media or via email.
