The region Jämtland Härjedalen is no exception when it comes to the tradition of celebrating Swedish Midsummer. In just about every village, there are events around the magic Maypole, for socializing, singing, and dancing to celebrate summer. Jamtli in Östersund is the most popular place in Jämtland Härjedalen for celebrating Midsummer, both for locals and visitors.
Midsummer eve is always on a Friday between the 19th and the 25th of June and the Saturday afterwards is called Midsummer´s day and a day for rest. There is a strong tradition around celebrating midsummer and therefore a lot of shops, local buses, authorities and others will have limited opening hours or will be entirely closed on these two days.
