Celebrate Midsommar
18-20 June, 2010

Come to Midsommar Festival for the 140th anniversary of the founding of the Maine Swedish Colony.

Featured this year, our favorite Swedish-American soprano Birgitta Andersson Whited is back with a concert on Saturday. Anders Tidstrom is traveling from Sweden to visit again after 40 years. He will be displaying old (historic even) photos he took in 1970. See the full calendar of activities.

Midsommar is a celebration of Swedish Heritage in Maine and the kickoff to our short and sweet summer. Please join us for the fun: eat, dance, sing.
