This Midsummer celebration is a little less "Ari Aster folk horror," and more "Nordic summer delicacies and yard games." But yes, you can still wear a flower crown. Warm up to the summer sun with maypole decorating, Scandinavian traditional dancing, Nordic vintage vendors, Viking history, and a gnome-themed scavenger hunt, plus the League of Swedish Societies' 96th annual raising of the Portland Midsummer pole. You'll find delicious treats from Broder Söder and Carina's Bakery available for snacking, too, plus Nordic brews on tap from Ridgewalker Brewing. Skål! by Lindsay Costello
