Finnish Midsummer explained  by British-born writer Joel Willans,

“I’ve heard of unaware foreigners waking up on Midsummer’s Eve in Finland and panicking when they discover their city utterly devoid of people. Has a mass alien abduction taken place while they were peacefully slumbering, they wonder?”

“Juhannus is a fantastically fun concept. There’s nothing like hanging out in the forest with your best buddies or family when the midnight sun’s shimmering on the lake and the bonfire’s blazing. It makes you feel a special type of wonder at the world.”
