Here in Sweden Midsummer Day is always moved to the nearest weekend and celebrated primarily on the eve, i.e tomorrow Friday.
It's a major holiday here, celebrated, if possible, in the outdoors. In a summerhouse, campingsite, garden community, in the country or similar.
People dance around the midsummer pole, after having decorated it with leaves and flowers.
After that comes the traditional food: (Paul, avert your eyes) herring, sour cream, hardboiled eggs, new potatoes, chives,
schnapps. Followed by strawberry cake. And more schnapps. And beer.
Then comes the games: sack-race, running with a spoon in your mouth with an egg on, tying one person's left foot to another's right foot and let them race against another pair and so on. The more schnapps people have had, the more fun they have.
After that the children are put to bed and the adults get serious about the schnapps and beer. If the celebration takes place near a lake or sea, it's now time for skinny dipping. Of course followed by some schnapps and beer.
After all this, some of those who are still awake will go to a more or less secluded place and do their best to make sure there will be one more celebrant next year.
