Nordkap Midsummer or “Sankthansaften” Celebration
June 23rd, 2026
Swedish Club, 22398 Ruth Street Farmington Hills, Michigan
Additional Information:
June 23 is the day we Norwegians celebrate Midsummer or “Sankthansaften”—the eve of the birthday of St. John the Baptist and one of the longest days of the year.
This year, Nordkap will again celebrate the day from 6 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time at the Swedish Club at 22398 Ruth Street in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Join us just before 6 p.m. for a brief nature walk, weather permitting. Shortly afterwards, we’ll assemble at the bonfire where our fire starters will have the fire ready for roasting hot dogs. Nordkap will provide hot dogs, buns, and ingredients to roast s’mores. Please bring your own pop or water, lawn chairs or blanket, insect repellent, and a side dish or dessert to share.
Picnicking will proceed until about 7:15, when the traditional ceremony to burn a paper witch for good luck is scheduled.
Afterwards, members can roast s’mores and enjoy the long evening with Nordkap friends before sunset.
Everyone is invited to help in the clean-up before we finish at 9 p.m.
See you Tuesday, June 23, from 6 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time at the Swedish Club!
