In Sweden, people sometimes jokingly say that we have two national days - June 6 and then Midsummer Eve! June 6 is a holiday in the calendar since 2005. On this date, Gustav Vasa was elected king in 1523, but it was also on June 6 that the 1809 form of government was signed.
For many, Midsummer Eve is an even more solemn day. It is the day when we tie flowers to wreaths, dance around the maypole and eat Swedish classic summer food - herring and potatoes and strawberries for dessert. Lonneberg has products in line that are perfect for summer's big holidays
