Midsommar Celebration

Get in the Summer Spirit

ASI’s Midsommar Celebration is on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

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. Midsommar will happen rain or shine—see you there! Live music will fill the ASI campus by ASI affiliated ensembles with special guests.

You may enter any time after your ticketed time but not before. Enjoy a special festival menu for purchase by FIKA Café and don’t forget to check out the visiting exhibit, Salad Hilowle: Inscriptions, on display in the Turnblad mansion.

Flower Crowns will be available to purchase while supplies last.

Midsommar is presented with support from our media partner Minnesota Public Radio (MPR), and event sponsor The Minnesota Star Tribune.
