Midsummer is the Nordic Student Association’s (NSA) version of the well-known Nordic celebration. Building upon the resounding success of this year's Midsummer party, NSA aims to create an unforgettable experience that not only celebrates the Nordic culture but also raises awareness and appreciation for its rich traditions.

The event is envisioned as a day-long celebration on the 18th of May, beginning at 12:00 PM and lasting until midnight, allowing participants to immerse themselves fully in the Nordic spirit at Kralingse Plas beach.
