Midsummer Celebration at Pluck Farm

Join us on Saturday, June 21 for Steel String Brewery and Pluck Farm's annual Midsummer celebration to welcome the summer and celebrate the brightest day of the year! The holiday is a celebration of the summer solstice, marking the longest day of the year and the onset of summer. Midsummer is traditionally celebrated in the Nordic countries and across Europe. It’s a day that should be spent with family and friends eating, drinking, and playing games out in the open air. A big part of the day is picking and decorating with flowers and greenery and binding them into flower crowns to be worn for good luck. Starting at noon we'll have a make your own flower crown station. Crowns are $8 and includes greenery, tools and your choice of 7 flowers grown and plucked on Pluck Farm (while supplies last). SCANDIMONIUM will be playing from 5 pm - 7 pm. They specialize in traditional and modern Nordic folkdance tunes. The dances are mostly couple turning dances that progress counter-clockwise around the room. Some date back hundreds of years. Their instrumentation includes fiddles, nyckelharpa, mandolin, cello, accordion, keyboard and light percussion. Lawn games will be available all day long, including Kan Jam, disc golf, Cornhole as well as Kubb, a traditional Swedish lawn game popular during Midsummer celebrations.
