St. Hans
St. Hans is a traditional celebration in Denmark, held on the evening of June 23rd, coinciding with the summer solstice. The event marks the arrival of summer and is often associated with the folklore of Midsummer, where people gather to light bonfires, sing songs, and enjoy the outdoors.
During St. Hans, it is common to see large bonfires, sometimes featuring a witch figure made of straw, symbolizing the burning away of evil spirits. Families and friends come together to celebrate with food, drinks, and festivities, making it a cherished cultural event in Denmark.
