Swedish Midsummer Celebration 2024
We are thrilled to look back on the magical Midsummer Celebration that took place on Friday the 21st June at The Strand, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. It was an evening devoted to singing, eating, and dancing.
The event started with the musicians Mohamad Hamami on violin and Alexander Cherevchenko on the accordion. Two authentic Swedish Midsummer instruments filled the room with Swedish folk music while guests were enjoying elderflower drinks.
A three-course homemade midsummer menu, including pickled herring, salmon, meatballs, and the summery dessert - strawberry cake were served to the guests at The Strand.
The atmosphere during the evening was warm and filled with joy and the beautifully arranged flowers on the tables, and in some of the guests' hair as well as the traditional Midsummer pole enhanced the mood. A warm, inviting ambience with the favorite Swedish music and midsummer games such as Spoon on Egg Race and Pen in the Bottle.
With more than 100 guest, we got to know what a full dance floor means when it came to dancing around the Midsummer pole! But if there is room for the heart there is room for the bum and there were lots of laughter when we all jumped around the Midsummer pole as little frogs - just like it should be at Midsummer!
Many thanks to Lisette Uhlmann and Henrick Solera who made the dance floor alive with fantastic songs until the midnight sun.
We extend our warm gratitude to every sponsor who generously contributed to the success of the event. Your support and belief in our event and network made it possible for us to create an extraordinary celebration for the community.
We wish you all a joyful summer!
