Midsummer Eve
Midsummer Eve is the evening before Midsummer Day, and in the Nordic countries it is the heart of the festival. In Sweden, Midsommarafton is the day of dancing round the maypole, singing games and a long outdoor meal, and in Finland, Juhannusaatto is the start of a holiday weekend in which many people travel to the countryside to stay in summer cottages, light bonfires by the lake and go to the sauna. It is traditional in Sweden to pick seven different wildflowers and place them under the pillow, to dream of a future partner.
In Latvia, 23 June is Līgo evening, the first night of the Jāņi festival, with songs that repeat the word līgo, flower and oak wreaths, bonfires, and people staying awake until sunrise. In Åland, a large maypole is raised in many villages. For a short time, the northern night barely gets dark, and the long daylight is one of the things that gives the festival its special character. Many of these customs are about fertility and good luck. In Sweden and Finland, the evening also has a strong tradition of grilling, boating and bonfires near the water, and the roads out of the cities are crowded in the afternoon.
