Special Events

Midsommar Celebration

In-Person | Sat, June 17, 10 am–5 pm

Dating back to ancient times, Midsommar is a tradition that welcomes back warm weather and marks the longest day of the year. It’s celebrated by making fresh-flower head wreaths, singing songs, listening to live music, and dancing around the midsommarstång (maypole)—all hallmarks of this family-friendly festival at ASI. This year, ASI’s Midsommar Celebration will feature a summertime dance party featuring Jake Rudh, longtime DJ, MPR radio host, and founder of Transmission. Advance ticket registration is required to attend this event. Walk-up sales will be available after 1pm. Midsommar is one of ASI’s most popular events; please anticipate limited on-site parking.
