Midsummer (or “Midsommar” in Swedish) is a Swedish holiday marking the
summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and is held in June. A beloved
tradition in Scandinavia, the festival is a celebration of the ushering in of light after
the long, dark winter.
Experience Swedish culture while exploring the park’s beautiful gardens. The
festival will feature a traditional Swedish maypole, flower crowns, food trucks,
kids’ activities, a DJ, and more. The first 100 visitors will receive a free flower
crown.
The Swedish Midsummer Festival is hosted by Volvo Cars. This is a rain or shine event.
