Today is the day we gather in our halls!
Midsummer is the religious celebration held at the summer solstice. This feast usually falls around June 20-21. Midsummer-related holidays, traditions and celebrations are found in all the Germanic countries of Northern Europe. Midsummer's eve is considered the second greatest festival of the Germanic holy year, comparable only to the 12 days of Yule. Certain celebrations take place on the evening of the summer solstice. Great roaring Bonfires, speeches, songs and dancing are most traditional. Folk traditions include the making of wreaths, the kindling of fires, the burning of corn dollies (human figure made out of straw), and the adornment of fields, barns, and houses with greenery. Midsummer as particularly a time to make blessings to Baldur.

City doesn't let us have bonfires as far as I know.
When I have land in the country I think Ill make this an anual event, so have a bump.

The holiday is considered the time of the death of the Fair God of sunshine, Baldur and thus the turning point at which summer reaches its height and the Sun shines longest, but at the same time it is when the days will soon begin to shorten and the Earth is beginning its slow descent into winter again. It is important to note that midsummer is not the middle of summer. Indeed, summer may be defined to begin with the summer solstice.

BBQ? Nothing in the city?
Sorry about that. I am stealing my landlady's BBQ for the night for some Nuerenberg sausages and mead.

Pretentious and pathetic.
Your "ancestors" were traitors who fled and abandoned their homelands. Once every few years my family recieves a couple of "Swedes" from the (((USA))) seeking their roots.
They are not taken seriously and are considered, by the elders, to be the spawn of traitors seeking shekels across the sea.
Nobody cares about paganism and never will. I will celebrate Midsummer's eve with my family, eating traditional food and have snaps.

I'll keep you in my prayers tonight stupid hippy.
Fire is an inviolable part of Summer Solstice celebrations. The campfire is lit at sunset and kept burning until sunrise so that the presence of light is not interrupted.
