Midsommar Celebration 

About

ASI's annual Midsommar Celebration is inspired by similar celebrations held across Sweden and Europe that mark the arrival of summer. Whether you’re a festival regular, or just curious what the holiday is all about, there’s something for everyone at this all-day, campus-wide gathering.

Dating back to ancient times, Midsommar is a tradition that welcomes back warm weather and marks the longest day of the year. It’s celebrated by making fresh-flower head wreaths, singing songs, listening to live music, and dancing around the midsommarstång (maypole)—all hallmarks of this family-friendly festival at ASI. Midsommar will happen rain or shine—see you there! Live music will fill the ASI campus by ASI affiliated ensembles with special guests.

ASI’s Midsommar Celebration is June 15 from 10 am to 5 pm! You may enter any time after your ticketed time but not before. Enjoy a special festival menu for purchase by FIKA Café and don’t forget to check out the visiting exhibit, Karin Larsson: Let the Hand be Seen, on display in the Turnblad mansion.
