Sweden’s annual Midsummer celebration is one of the country’s most treasured traditions, but this year, the event will prove a bit different as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose health risks and large gatherings are canceled.
The holiday isn’t being done away entirely, however. Small outdoor gatherings with friends and families will take place in Sweden, and some Midsummer celebrations from all over the country will be broadcast via live stream on Friday, June 19, 2020.
