    Enjoy wearing a garland of flowers in your hair, raise the midsommarpole and join in ring dances and games at the American Swedish Historical Museum’s annual Midsommarfest. The Midsommarfest is a day of fun for the entire family with Swedish food, music, raffles, and games for kids of all ages. Midsommar is one of Sweden’s most important holidays, a unique Swedish celebration, and a day to rejoice in the coming of summer at a time when daylight is at its longest. The Midsommarfest at the American Swedish Historical Museum is hosted by Midsommarklubben, a group of Swedish-speaking volunteers who has taken pride in bringing Swedish holiday traditions to our region for more than 25 years. The Swedish Museum Singers will provide this year’s entertainment, along with the Philadelphia fiddlers. Refreshments such as smörgåstårtor (sandwich tortes), hot dogs and home-baked Swedish pastries will be available for purchase.
