Midsummer 2024

Midsummer is wonderful to celebrate!

The night before Midsummer’s Eve, you are welcome to join in the preparation of the Midsummer pole at the playground in the community of Stocken. If you like, you can bring your own picked wildflowers.

Midsummer’s Eve itself is traditionally celebrated with dancing around the pole by the playground. There will also be lotteries, a fish pond for children, a chocolate wheel, swedish fika and more.

Program for Midsummer arranged by the Stocken Association (Preliminary)

20/6 At 18.00 The evening before Midsummer’s Eve, on Thursday, you gather by the playground in Stocken to dress the midsummer pole. If you like you can pick and bring some summerflowers.

21/6 At 14.00 Midsummer’s Eve, Friday, the traditional Midsummer celebration begins at Stocken’s playground.

At 14:30, the dance begins around the Midsommer pole.

Midsummer weekend with us at the campsite is very popular, so be sure to book a campingpitch or cottage well in advance! Call us at:+46304-51100, or book online.

stockendagen

Stockendagen

On the 2nd weekend of July, Saturday 13/7, it is time for the Stocken-day. This is an annual event that originates from when Anita & Freddy, who own the campsite, wanted to celebrate running the campsite for 10 years, in 2015.

Since the event was so appreciated, it was decided that it would be carried out every year and then, as now, it is organized in cooperation with Föreningen Stocken, (the Stocken Association).

We usually have quiz walks for the whole family, lotteries, market stalls and exhibitors, maybe even a flea market – and weather permitting, bouncy castles for the children.
