celebrate Midsummer the Öland way

Midsummer Eve is approaching here on the island of the sun and the winds! The midsummer pole must be dressed with flowers and leaves, strawberry cakes must be baked and flower wreaths must be tied. The herring must be put in and the accordion picked out. Maybe you'll even sleep with seven kinds of flowers under your pillow! Öland is a magical place to celebrate the summer's most glorious holiday. There are several different midsummer celebrations around the island and here we list some of them. A warm welcome to the Öland midsummer!
