In Sweden and other northern European countries the solstice holiday of
Midsummer is celebrated on June 24 annually.
Historically this date marks the midpoint of the growing season,
halfway between planting and harvest.
Midsummer Eve (June 23) is on or near the shortest night of the year.
Dancing, feasting, bonfires, and general merrymaking are hallmarks
of the night.
