We attended the annual Midsommar celebration at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon. A decorated Maypole was raised, "Spelmanslag" fiddlers fiddled, ring dancers danced; everyone enjoyed a festive day!
...og så på kronprinsessens bryllupsdag, hvor frøen, hun havde kysset, blev prins :-D Min ældste storebror, der snart har boet 40 år i Staterne, de fleste i Texas, holder meget af den årlige danske dag, de holder!

Long live the Maypole and the Swedes!
Glad Midsommar.
The weather cooperated nicely, didn't it? Great to invest time in recalling ethnic traditions.
une belle tradition et de beaux costumes
What a happy lot!!
I love those outfits! Do they really all play the fiddle? Looks like so much fun :D

Wonderful festival!!
People look so happy.
You seem to celebrate a week early, but maybe that's because you can't wait with all the dancing, eating and drinking!
Glad Midsommar Leif.
Wonderful pictures! Glad midsommar!

I love the longest day of the year! It's still not completely dark here in Berlin and it's 10.30pm.
I tried the Madison Rotary club several times (that's where I live) but maybe I will try one of the other Jackson area clubs.
You go to some of the most wonderful festivals! This looks like so much fun and you captured the joy beautifully!
This is wonderful. Much more exotic (lol) than in Montpellier ! Your photos are great.
What a happy festival, it look so much fun and the costumes are great!
If I haven't read this I would say you were spending summer holidays back home! :-) Great shots!
especially that last photo brings a smile to my face!
What a pleasure to see smiling faces and people remembering their history.
