Jaanipaev

Like so many northern European Cultures we celebrate an old traditional summer solstice event which in Estonia is called Jaanipaev.  While it is an annual event in Estonia, in Alberta we celebrate it every two years.  It is a family social event with the traditional ritual of gathering around a large bonfire.  In our Alberta celebrations, the bonfire festivity is dependent on weather and local fire regulations, but the party goes on regardless!

The next Jaanipaev celebration is Jaanipaev 2012.

It will be held in Central Alberta at the Gilby Community Centre on the banks of the Medicine River, 42 Km West of Lacombe on Highway 12. 

Saturday, June 23rd 2012.
