NEWS, TRENDS AND INSPIRATION Nordic Life HAPPY MIDSUMMER! The arrival of summer in Scandinavia is welcomed with delight and tradition. Festivities begin on June 23, Midsummer's Eve, with all-night parties, music, food (hello, strawberry cake!) and huge bonfires. In ancient times, fires were lit to protect against evil spirits. Bonfires are lit to this day in many communities around Norway. Photo: Valdemaras D. / Unsplash June 2022 7
