Midsommar Celebration

Midsommar Dancing

Get in the Summer Spirit

ASI’s Midsommar Celebration is the third Saturday of June every year. 

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.


Midsommar is presented with support from our media partner Minnesota Public Radio (MPR).
