Presented by the Consulate General of Sweden, New York and Battery Park City Authority, the annual Swedish Midsummer Festival will return to Rockefeller Park to celebrate the summer solstice.

With a lively dance around the Midsummer pole led by Ross Sutter, a Scandinavian folklorist, a floral wreath making station, a parade, traditional Swedish music by Paul Dahlin and fiddlers from the American Swedish Institute children’s games, and more all set against a backdrop of vibrant decor, the Midsummer Festival is a perfect event to kick off the summer season. Traditional Swedish food, candy, and beverages will be available for purchase.
