Celebrate the longest day of the year, Swedish style! ASI’s Midsommar Celebration welcomes everyone to observe one of Sweden’s favorite holidays by heading outside to enjoy live music, dancing around the majstång (maypole), and many family-friendly activities. Whether you’re an ASI regular or curious to check out this Swedish holiday, all ages will find a campus ready to welcome summer with traditional foods, music, and dancing. Make your own fresh flower head wreath, try out Midsommar specialties like Swedish strawberry cake, and meet artists at the pop-up market. Or sit back and enjoy festive music from ASI’s affiliated music ensembles, the Nordstär Ensemble featuring Somali percussionist Harbi Kahiye, and Lynx Lynx. Please note that this is one of ASI’s busiest days of the year, so tickets are sold by timed entry slots, and at the door, tickets increase to $20 for all adults (if available). Each ticket includes admission to the Turnblad Mansion and the new exhibition Salad Hilowe: Inscriptions, make and take crafts, and access to all performances and pop-up activities. Head wreath kits and a special festival menu from FIKA Café are available for purchase throughout the day. This event runs rain or shine, so please dress for the weather.
