Jaanipäev aka Midsummer Day

Midsummer Day, also known as Jaanipäev, is one of the biggest celebrations in Estonia. Every year locals try to escape from the cities and get intact with nature on the shortest night of the year. Some of the most common traditions are making a huge bonfire and jumping over it, looking for a blossomed fern which can make all the wishes come true, and simply enjoying nature by dancing, singing and drinking. (dw we don’t lure ppl and sacrifice them like in the film )
