The countryside, the nightless night
Juhannus -Midsummer- is a celebration that dates back to the pre-Christian time in Finland. It is the celebration of light, the nightless night, of nature’s magic and ancient spells of love and fertility. The cities are left abandonned when everyone heads to the countryside to welcome the summer by a lake or the sea. Sauna, barbecue and unbelievable amounts of various alcoholic beverages are enjoyed in the mystic light of the Nordic sky and the midsummer bonfires.
