Midsummer fire

In the end of June there is big Midsummer festival here, which is very famous! It is behind HulloTrahter. There is a big fire there, some local bands playing; you should bring your own beer or what ever you prefer! You can dance, go on that huge swing, which was quite amazing for me! Meet of course all the locals and have really great time. You should go there! Really it is very famous! Nothing special, but it is great way to feel real life on this beautiful island!
