Finland in midsummer festival

Midsummer Festival is one of the biggest festivals in Sweden. Friends who have participated in it will recall the folk dances, folk music and white nights of the Mid-Summer Festival. The most famous midsummer holiday resort in Sweden is Rexhan in Dalana province. It is generally believed that the midsummer festival there is the most traditional.

On the morning of midsummer festival, people decorate their homes, cars, churches, dance halls and auditoriums with flowers and birch branches. Residents erected Maypole decorated with garlands and birch branches in the squares or sports fields of villages and towns. On a clear midsummer night, with the violin and accordion playing, people in national costumes danced around the pillars. People are singing and dancing in the long-awaited sunshine, all of which originated from the festivals of the pirate era.

Midsummer festival also often means rainy. Swedes are keen to watch the weather forecast before the festival and are eager for sunny, warm and pleasant weather. But in fact, rain or shine, people will enjoy the good times in summer. People will pick flowers and leaves to decorate the style of Mayday, because it is considered as a symbol of fertility. Later, the children will dance around style, and maybe one or two adults will sing the little frog's song with the children's dance movements. People wear garlands around their necks, and some people also wear traditional Swedish national costumes. The reason why the corolla of "Goddess of Grains" is woven with cauliflower also has its origin. It is said that one night in late spring and early summer, the cauliflower in Pengzidi was in full bloom, and people were dissatisfied with the flowers in Huang Cancan. As a result, there was a bumper harvest of wheat that year. Since then, Romanians have regarded cauliflower as the embodiment of a grain woman. They pinned their hopes for a bumper harvest on Pengzi's cauliflower, hoping that it would produce auspicious flowers every year and bring a bumper harvest.
