Channel 9 Shayne Wells and Alix Kendall learn how to make the traditional flower head wreath for Midsommar with Director of Experience Ingrid Nyholm-Lange!
You can make your own by celebrating Midsommar at the American Swedish Institute on Saturday, June 17 from 10am - 5pm.
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.
