Hej and välkommen (welcome)to #SwedishWordWednesday ! Each week on Wednesday, SHS would like to share a Swedish word with you.

Today's Swedish word is midsommar, or MidsummerMidsommar is this Saturday and it is one of the most popular celebrations for Swedes, both in Sweden and in this country. This is the season when music fills the air — a time when relatives and friends gather in the open meadow around flower-bedecked tables of food. This festival is traditionally as beautiful as it is entertaining.
