Hello everyone! 

Since this weekend was one of the most magical nights of the year, I wanted to hear from you about your plans for celebrating Sankt Hans Aften (Midsummer's Eve) on June 23rd. Midsummer is a time filled with bonfires, music, and community gatherings, and it's a wonderful opportunity to experience Danish culture and traditions. How did you celebrate this weekend? 

Questions to Get You Started: 

  1. How did you plan to celebrate Sankt Hans Aften this year? 

  • Did you attend a bonfire event, have a picnic, or host a gathering with friends and family? 

  1. What traditions or activities were you looking forward to the most? 

  • Was it singing around the bonfire, watching the effigy burn, or perhaps something else? 

  1. Have you celebrated Sankt Hans Aften before? 

  • Share your past experiences and any tips for those who are new to the tradition. 

  1. What special foods or drinks did you plan to enjoy? 

  • Are there any Danish recipes you were excited to try or would recommend? 

Share Your Photos and Plans: 

I would love to see how you celebrated this day! Share photos of your Midsummer preparations and celebrations. Whether it's a picture of the bonfire, your picnic setup, or just you and your friends enjoying the evening, I'd love to see it all!
