Midsommar i Battery Park

Celebrate Midsummer with us!

Please RSVP here only if you intend to sit with us at the event.

To everyone who is coming and intends to sit with us: In June, I will send out an email with all the details about where we will be sitting, etc. If you do not get the email, let an organizer know by the morning of 6/24. We purposefully sit in a spot that is pretty easy to find.

This is a huge event sponsored by the Swedish Consulate that we attend every year. There's a sommarstång and dancing and it's always so much fun.

Things to know now:

The event technically runs from 5:00-8:00pm. Highly recommend coming at 4:00 or as early as you can. Cannot stress this enough. The park usually gets packed with people, especially if it’s a nice day. If you don't get there on the early side, it is possible you will not find room to sit with us. But don't look at coming early as anything but a better time: "Tailgaters" have more fun.

If you would like to volunteer to for sure come between 3:30-3:45 and help stake our claim, please let me know. We need a lot of people, especially if it's a nice day. Also if you come early, there will be a smaller (but very fun!) group to socialize with. And it's quieter, if that is appealing.

Bring a blanket or something to sit on and anything you want to eat or drink. Don't forget water. You'll regret it the next day if you do :-)
