Midsummer, probably the most celebrated Swedish holiday is of course also celebrated traditionally @ Connect! So what is midsummer then? Midsummer (in Swedish "Midsommar") is a holiday dear to Swedes everywhere. When daylight returns to the northern reaches of Sweden after the long, dark winter, there is cause to celebrate! And while it is called midsummer, it really marks the beginning of summer. People in Sweden erect maypoles with leafy green birch branches and wild flowers. Music (traditional Swedish fiddle tunes) fills the air, there is lively dancing, drinking and ... If you ever thought of visit Sweden, do it in June and experience a real Swedish Midsommar!

The midsummer celebration @ Connect is not as lively as in Sweden, but we do of course make the traditional maypole/midsummer pole and there is also a lot of delicious Swedish food and drinks (who has not heard of Vodka?). The pictures below was taken during Connect's Midsummer Buffet.
