Although the summer solstice falls on the 21st or 22nd of June, the actual Latvian celebration of midsummer occurs on the 24th, known as Jāni.
Last summer I found myself in the countryside of Latvia, where I participated in a traditional celebration of Jani (midsummer).
We soaked up so much sunlight and danced to traditional Latvian folk songs around a bonfire. The sun only set for three hours and I witnessed the softest morning glow over a dewy meadow. Frogs croaked through the night and birds harmonized in the morning. It was pure bliss. I’ve never felt such a deep connection with nature until that moment. It was a pure and honest gathering in celebration of nature and the Earth’s rotation.
I hope you enjoy this special documentation of mine :)
