Midsummer fire festival started from June 21

The amusing flame desecration game and the amazingly frustrating torch
are making a comeback from the previous years events in the Midsummer
Fire Festival. One notable inclusion this year will be the Ahune, the
Frost Lord. Death is again getting interesting with StarCraft II, as
Blizzard is again gearing up for the StarCraft II Beta. For StarCraft
players, they will just have to wait patiently. Burning Blossoms are
the currency used for the Midsummer Fire Festival used for purchasing
seasonal rewards. Dancing around the ribbon pole, tossing the torch,
catching the torch and honoring the fire are some of the events. The
festival is about merriment and the hottest season of the year is made
significant by lighting bonfires all over. Be open to the fact that
you would all be sweating when you return from the festival. So be
prepared to pick the festival mug and get ready to toast for the start
of the festival.The ending of the event is also remarkable as the sky
is set alight.

On the other hand the summer solstice day is marked in Scandinavian
culture as a day for celebrations and festivals. In Norway too the day
is marked with families visiting each other and gathering to listen to
music, tell stories, eat, drink, dance and celebrate the longest day
of the year.
