SANKT HANS AFTEN

On Midsummer’s Eve, June 23rd, we celebrate in Denmark with bonfires, song, and joy. The tradition dates back to ancient times and marks the arrival of summer. Cities and villages gather by the beach or in parks to light large bonfires and sing together.

In the middle of the evening, a straw doll, called a “witch,” is burned on the bonfire as a symbol of pushing away evil. It’s a magical night where the community celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and the beauty of nature.
