The festival of Juhannus is celebrated in Finland, marking the summer solstice. This event, also known as Midsummer, usually occurs around June 20-26, when the sun shines the longest in the northern hemisphere. Traditionally, it involves bonfires, dancing, and various outdoor activities, with families and friends gathering by lakesides or in nature. Celebrations often reflect Finnish cultural practices, including the use of floral crowns and specific dishes enjoyed during the festivities. Juhannus symbolizes the arrival of summer, enhancing connections to nature and communal bonds among participants.
