For several years now, Battery Park City in lower Manhattan has hosted this event.
Midsummer is one of the year's great family holidays in the Scandinavian countries, since long before Christianization.
A midsummer pole decorated with leaves and flowers is erected and children and families dance around it.
For example, there is the annual Sweden Day celebration held at Manhem Club in Throgs Neck.
Previously, Swedish-American tourism official Birger Nordholm hosted several Midsummer festivities in and around the area.
