Midsummer
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 traditional fermented ale samples, food, games and fun with friends and loved ones.
