How to celebrate Midsummer Eve?

On Midsummer Eve, gather your family and friends outside for a picnic. Wear flower crowns and enjoy delicious snacks like sandwiches and fresh fruit. Play fun games like hide and seek or catch. When it starts to get dark, light a small, safe bonfire with adult help. Sit around the fire, sing songs, tell stories, and toast marshmallows. Watch the stars together and enjoy being with your loved ones. If you're near water, take a splash or skip stones. Before bed, make a wish for happiness and good luck.
