2- Gather all your friends and loose folk to tie flowers on a mid-summers-pole "Midsommarstång".
3- Rise the pole so everybody can dance around it.
4- Get traditional old school live music for the dance around the pole.
5- Eat fresh potatoes and herring, and swallow it with brennvin.

O.K. Sweeden,

Herring is tough enough but you're supposed to swallow it with what? That Brennvin you talk of better be wine, baby. M' just saying...

And congrats. Seems like a rather traditional, fun celebration.
