Q: When is the midsummer festival?

A: Midsummer Festival is a traditional festival in Nordic countries, which is held around June 24th every year.

The midsummer festival has become a festival to wish a bumper harvest, attracting the broad masses of the people. In midsummer, people dressed in national costumes are beaming and come to the central square in an endless stream to participate in the festival parade. A beautiful girl dressed as the "goddess of the five grains" wore a yellow corolla woven by Artemisia scoparia, a costume and a bright shawl. Under the leadership of the "goddess of grain", the team marched forward with great strides.

When the "goddess of grain" walked to the wheat field that was about to be harvested, drums and music sounded and cheers were everywhere. People danced around the goddess of grain.

The joyful crowd sang and danced, completely immersed in the joy of harvest. The solstice in summer naturally becomes a day for people to revel and enjoy all night. However, the celebrations in the Nordic countries are different, and each has its own wonderful activities.

In ancient times, some people in Europe thought that if marigold and other herbs were picked on the eve of midsummer night, there would be a magical healing effect; Local residents will light torches or bonfires when they go out to drive away lonely souls or gods in the wild.

To this day, in Stonehenge (an ancient site) and other parts of Britain, people still celebrate the Midsummer Festival according to the ancient local ceremonies, and they also light huge bonfires during the celebration.
