Summer solstice celebration

Some may call it also Midsummer celebration, but Latvians call it “Jâòi”, usually celebrated from 23rd to 24th of June. Some Latvians celebrate it on an actual summer solstice. Celebration consists of different traditions from pagan times. My favorite traditions are burning bonfires to keep light all through the night, waiting for sunrise, wearing flower crown (which I usually make myself) and having as much fun as possible.
