Scandinavians know a thing or two about celebrating the summer solstice. This Friday, 20 June, you can join the celebration of this year’s longest day at the annual Swedish Midsummer Festival in Lower Manhattan's Battery Park City
from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.
Try some traditional delicacies from some of New York's best Swedish restaurants. Then dance away the calories to the traditional fiddle music of Paul Dahlin and friends. Children of all ages can enjoy decorating the maypole, making summer wreaths, playing games, or watching a parade.
