Midsummer in Huddinge

There was a huge gathering of people and families in Sjödalsparken today with a couple of bands playing to celebrate midsommer in Huddinge.I took a walk to the park join in the celebration and enjoy the nice sunshine. Apart from Christmas, midsummer, midsommar is the most important celebration in Sweden. The successful midsummer never-ending lunch party formula involves flowers in your hair, dancing around a pole, singing songs while drinking unsweetened, flavoured schnapps and downing a whole load of pickled herring, sill served with delightful new potatoes, chives and sour cream. http://www.visitsweden.com/sweden/Things-to-do/Swedish-Lifestyle/Swedish-traditions/Midsummer/
