In Sweden, June is a month full of festivities, with National Day and Midsummer as the two most prominent ones. 

Originally as Swedish Flag Day, the former became the official National Day in 1983 and a public holiday in 2005. The day is marked by flag-raising ceremonies, speeches, and various public celebrations, including free admission to many museums and cultural events across the country.

In turn, Midsummer involves numerous traditions steeped in folklore, including the raising of the maypole, or "midsommarstång." Decorated with flowers and greenery, the maypole becomes the centerpiece for community's dancing and singing, often accompanied by traditional Swedish songs.

The feasts include classic Swedish dishes such as pickled herring, new potatoes, and strawberries with ice cream. People wear flower crowns and traditional folk costumes to enhance the festive atmosphere.

Midsummer is also associated with various customs believed to bring good fortune. Celebrations are often held in the countryside, highlighting Sweden's deep connection to nature and the significance of the season. 

We're wishing you to enjoy both!
