Rockefeller Park is the setting for a unique celebration of the summer solstice. Learn traditional Swedish folk dances and join in a lively dance around the midsummer pole.

Make wreaths from beautiful flowers representing those in bloom on the solstice in Sweden, then participate in a parade, children’s games, and Swedish delicacies.

Traditional music by Paul Dahlin and fiddlers from the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis. Dances led by Ross Sutter, a Scandinavian folklorist.
