" If one would like to celebrate Midsummer in the Finnish way but abroad, one could with the family eat some traditional food that is more countryside style, and then go out to a park or otherwise green area and sense the weather, the time of the day and it's light, the nature's beuty, birdsong and the like, leisurely, like is pleasant and has a nice atmoshphere. If one would like to go to some happening, a quite peaceful one to which one can take kids, maybe with violin music or the like: emotional, peaceful, traditionally inclined, sensing the nature etc.
If you like this, maybe you would like to read my long text about the seasons in Finland http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html .This year Midsummer is 23. - 24. of June 2023. Like usual, that is almost at the end of June. Yet it comes surprisingly quickly. It is important to start summer holiday before it is too late. In practice there are only two months of summer holiday: June and July, since in the half way of August begin schools and that affects plans a week or so before it. In the beginning of June swimming waters for children are not yet so warm, but around Midsummer they are warm.
