The middle of summer, typically around June 20-21 in the Northern Hemisphere, which is the longest day of the year.
From Old English 'mid' (middle) + 'sumor' (summer). The term originally marked the astronomical peak of summer, though it has evolved to refer to the season's midpoint in various cultures.
Midsummer celebrations in countries like Sweden and Finland involve bonfires and flowers because ancient peoples believed the sun's power peaked on this day—some cultures thought magical creatures became visible at midnight!
