Midsummer Celebration in the South Bay


Saturday, June 22, 2013 is the 119th Annual Midsummer celebration at Sveadal.  This is an amazing event.  There are things for the whole family to do.  Bring a picnic lunch, bring or purchase dinner.  There are Swedish handicrafts to buy, snaps to taste and an afternoon of dancing around the Maypole.   Sveadal (Swedish Valley) is a magical place, and the whole experience is like being in a Swedish village.  Once you go, you will be hooked!

Here are a couple of hints for a good time:

 

Helan Går lyrics (a drinking song, you have to try it at least once!):

 

Små Grodorna (a song to sing and dance around the Maypole – it is about little frogs) (this video is not from Sveadal, but it gives you an idea of the dance).
