Midsummer festival

This is how we celebrate our Midsummer festival at our pre-school. We do all the traditional things. We'll show you in pictures.

We always celebrate Midsummer on the Tusday before the actuall day. Midsummer eve is always on a Friday, this year on the 19th of June. And it's a national holiday.

In our pre-school we prepare the everything on Monday. First everyone pick flowers for the maypole. And then we decorate it.

Then on Tuesday we have the actuall celebration together.

The yellow and blue dress is our national traditional costume.

We start everything by carrining the mayploe singing a tradional song to the place that the actuall dance takes place. Every year the oldest children go first in the line carring the maypole.

We had two musicans playing the violin and accordion while we sang and danced all the traditional Midsummer dances.



After the dance we eat ice-cream together.

We wish you all a wonderful summer.
