Swedish Midsummer Festival in Battery Park

We made a quick stop by the annual Swedish Midsummer Festival in Manhattan. At this celebration people helped decorate the midsummer pole, made flower wreaths, and danced to authentic fiddle music.

Food stands offered traditional delicacies from New York's Swedish restaurants, including Swedish meatballs and Lingonberry Lemonaid. Swedish Folkdancers of New York provided traditional music and folk dance. Below is a quick video from the festival.

This looks like lots of fun. Did you happen into any distant Swedish relatives?
