We don't celebrate it here in Germany, but it seems like a good occasion to have some cake and coffee

Midsummer - or Sankt Hans as we call it here in Dk is apparently banned this year.
Normally we gather around a huge bonfire and send a “witch” of to bloksbjerg, while singing and “hygge” (guess it translates to some sort of cozyness)
Sooo, this year You’ll find me ind my garden, in front of my firepit, still singing though, with a glas of Wine.
Glædelig Sankt Hans!

Why? Fire hazards? They have banned bonfires at some of my favorite beaches here in the US too, but I think it was because some idiot tried to jump one, unsuccessfully.

If the grass or forest fire warning is on, bonfires may not be lit. A few rainy days before the midsummer festival would have changed the situation. Even the grill is not allowed to be lit unless it is, for example, on top of a stone tile and when it falls, it only hits the stones. No one really supervises them, but if something happens, the insurance will not cover and you can get fines for careless use of fire. I know that a few drunk people have fallen into a burning bonfire and the burns are accentuated in the hospital's first aid just at the time of the midsummer festival. Of course, some get their burns when they fall on a hot stove in the sauna.

Thanks, yeah I won't go camping if there is a fire alert. Need a campfire for it to be camping, plus don't want to be in a forest if a fire does occur. The beaches though, ocean on one side, sand on the other.

My A-hole neighbor is having a barbecue, therefore I will be hosting an outdoor moot, drinking horns and all. And maybe draw from other pagan traditions and burn a wicker (or more likely straw man). Blow your leaves and grass clipping in my yard again and see what I do for Samhain.

What is the definition of a moot? My sister's Rover Scouts do a couple of camps they call moots each year but I've never understood why they have that name.

I'm spending midsummer in the city and bonfires were not allowed, so we didn't go to the nearby beach and park area where you've usually seen several bonfires across the lake. There are always lots of people partying and playing yard games. On Thursday, the city was already clearly quiet and it was strange to buy barbecue delicacies in such an empty store. It seems that the whole of Finland is always sitting in their cars in the midsummer on traffic jams to get to summer cottages or a festival. It's actually nice to spend midsummer in a quiet and deserted city relaxing without doing anything at all. We grilled on the balcony with an electric grill and I drank cucumber cocktails. Today I'll probably go to the sauna because it's part of the midsummer celebration. Maybe I'll use a birch and lavender herb bag. It is made a bit like tea. We put the bag in warm water and wait 20 minutes, take it out and throw the scented water on the hot stones. Hyvää mittumaaria kaikille!

For Midsummer? I'll probably stay at home, avoid a super long holiday, and wait until my dad says we're going to Greymouth [SOOOO WET!] or Cromwell [hardly warm, since it's in near the mountains] or somewhere else or maybe just go to the mall with friends.
