This Scandinavian country is punishing in the dark and cold winters and simply incredible in the seasons between. Swedes are a kind, fun-loving bunch with a varied taste in festival types. Music ranks among the highest, but fest fans can find art and even Pagan festivals to attend. Their most iconic festival, Midsummer, is celebrated by virtually all members of the family. Sweden.se recommends bringing bug spray, a poncho, a six-pack, schnapps, a life vest and protection. Hey, it’s a festival that celebrates love.
