Midsommar

Under the lingering midsummer sun, Alum Creek Sailing Association will transform into a slice of Scandinavia for our annual Midsommar Festival. Join us on the shoreline to weave garlands, dress the maypole with fresh greenery, and dance to traditional Scandi folk tunes.

The club will provide a hearty Scandinavian entrée, and we invite you to contribute a favorite side dish or dessert to complete the feast. Friendly lawn games and sing-along rounds of “Små grodorna” welcome all ages, while twilight storytelling by the bonfire caps the evening.

New for 2025, browse our Scandi Shop—a pop-up market of hand-picked Scandinavian housewares, textiles, and keepsakes available, with proceeds supporting club programs.

Bring family, friends, and plenty of midsummer cheer as we honor age-old traditions, strengthen community ties, and create fresh memories on the water. Skål to summer!

To Keep track of what guests are bringing, we are using Perfect Potluck. Click here to sign up for a dish/dessert.
