What is Midsummer in Finland actually like?

Hvyää Juhannusta! 🌿 Spending Midsummer in Finland is truly magical, and this year was incredibly special because I got to experience so many traditional Finnish traditions for the very first time. Come along with me as we celebrate the summer solstice! In this vlog, I’m checking out my very first Juhannuskokko (the massive Midsummer bonfire) learning how to make an authentic birch vasta (or vihta!) for the sauna and foraging for local wildflowers to bring some summer magic into our home. I also share a few fun cultural facts about why these traditions are so important to Finns! 🌸🇫🇮 Thank you so much for watching!
