Leave winter behind—
The longest day of the year is here

Experience the mirthful magic of a Scandinavian “Midsomer,” or Midsummer, at Old World Wisconsin. An ancient seasonal tradition in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark, Midsummer is a call to leave cold, winter nights behind in favor of bright and bountiful summer days. Enter the Scandinavian Homesteads area of Old World Wisconsin and enjoy drinks, music and entertainment with friends and loved ones. 

Embrace an Iron Age tradition in new ways as you savor summer treats, taste fermented ales and play Scandinavian games in style. Leave winter behind—the longest day of the year is here. 

Craft Beer Tastings

Sip your way through history with barrel- and open-fermented traditional ales, samples from specialty casks, brewed right at Old World Wisconsin—crafted using time-honored methods that bring the past to life, one pour at a time.

Entertainment

Step into a living tradition as you explore seasonal Scandinavian customs—from open-hearth cooking and wool dyeing to flower drying and nature studies—surrounded by the sights, sounds, and spirit of an Iron Age–inspired Midsummer celebration.

A group of people dancing around a colorful maypole in a grassy field, each holding a ribbon. The scene is festive with clear skies and trees in the background.
