The holiday is a time to enjoy the warm weather and celebrate the beginning of summer. Midsummer traditions vary from region to region, but many Swedes celebrate by decorating a maypole with flowers and leaves, dancing around it, and singing traditional songs. Maypoles are often erected in town squares or other public places for everyone to enjoy.
