Bishop Hill Midsommar Music Festival
June 24, 2017
Celebrate the summer solstice Swedish style, with music and dancing!
Concerts in the village park will begin at 11am and conclude at 4pm when the maypole will be decorated. Participate in the procession; help deliver the maypole to the schoolhouse and dance on its east lawn.
That evening at 7pm, a barn dance will be held at the Colony School.
Midsommar Respite: If you get too hot or dry while exploring Bishop Hill, the Vasa National Archives invites you to take a break and enjoy fika, (the Swedish custom of socializing over a drink and a snack) and while at there, try your hand at the make-and-take clay sculpture station. Nibble a treat at The 2nd Annual Rubarber Fundraiser to benefit the Bishop Hill Heritage Association. Members of the BHHA will be serving homemade rhubarb baked goods, coffee, and lemonade, on the porch of the Steeple Building Museum from 11am to 4pm.
Proceeds will be used to support BHHA activities.
