If it's anything like May Day in Finland it should be a great time.

It's raining cats and dogs here today.
Some thunder grumbles too.
Mid-summer celebrations may be somewhat subdued.

Mid summer in Norway is the same party... We burn anything that can burn in huge bonfires to welcome the summer season and in Fjord country and along the coasts it's quite a sight......The Aquavit hangover however is something to fear mightily.

I heard you guys go crazy this time of year!!!...like separating the word "Today" and combining the words "party mode"
Midsummer is a big family thing, very old tradition.
If i try to compare it to USA, big as 4 of July for you.
Summer is short in sweden and needs to be celebrate
Tradition from farmers long time ago.

Your English is much better than my Swedish.
It's midsummer here in Arizona, too. The outside temperature will be 107 degrees F here today; no rain in sight. We have our own special way of celebrating summer in the desert Southwest; this picture should be self-explanatory!

Don't worry about Sip. He's from California. All the people out there speak their own version of English.

Sounds like great fun and a great time, enjoy!
Here in Arizona we do the same thing, except here it's called Winter.
Huh, yeah, just realized today is the Summer Solstace.
