Midsummer is quite a big holiday in Finland. I had a traditional Midsummer with my family, sauna and swimming. We didn't have a bonfire as we're already too old (and way too lazy to build one) to enjoy it as much as we did as children. See wikipedia entry for Midsummer in Finland for quite a good summary. I'd like to add that people usually have way too much to drink on Midsummer and have a big hangover the next day. Not that I'd do anything like that (I only had 3 ciders).
