Pretty much an excuse for massive amounts of boozefests here in Finland, at least. Not that I mind :P
Also somewhat officially celebrated with midsummer festivals and stuff.

That looks pretty much exactly like Heritage Fest, the annual festival that the city one of my aunts lives in--it celebrates German history and such, though, since a lot of people in that area (Minnesota) are of Germanic descent.

The town I frequently spend most of my time in because it is hells of cooler than the town I live in, has a parade every spring called "All Species Day," and they had a circle thing like in that video last year. I missed it this year, though, so I don't know if they did it again, but Vermont has a rather large Paganism/Wicca/Green Religion underground sort of thing.

Holy crap, guys...I found out last night my town is having a Summer Solstice celebration today.
Yes, that's right, my tiny town in Southwest Virginia, a place where people only put their teeth in for special occasions.
Apparently we're filling downtown with 20 tons of beach sand, getting shitfaced, and eating oysters. Oh, and registering people to vote. If it's good I'll post pictures.
