Lake Tuusula near Helsinki provides perfect location to experience Finnish Midsummer celebrations.

Bonfires and Midsummer dances belong to the traditional Finnish Midsummer’s Eve, and at Lake Tuusula, you will find both!

Several bonfires are lit all along the shoreline and you can join the locals to admire this ancient fashion.

As you are likely to enjoy the celebrations until the early hours, it is a good idea to book accommodation locally and to enjoy a good night’s sleep and to wake up to a delicious breakfast.

Midsummer takes place in the end of June.
