Proof that Sweden’s Viking past isn’t too far below the surface, the ancient Walpurgis Night festival, like Midsommar, involves lighting huge bonfires and enjoying the mother of all parties. Originally held as a means of keeping evil spirits at bay, the festival is now held to celebrate the onset of spring and is a national public holiday.
