23 and 24 June are two very special days in the Bondora calendar. Midsummersâs Day (jaanipĂ€ev) on June 24 and jaanilaupĂ€ev before it are the most important holidays on the Estonian calendar.
Itâs just after the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. In Estonia, it also coincides with the famous white nights â the nights have a constant light glow, and there are almost 19 hours of daylight on JaanipĂ€ev!
To celebrate, we go to summer cottages, visit with family and friends, light bonfires, wear flower crowns, and sing and dance the ânightâ away until the dawn of June 24.
Itâs the perfect chance to enjoy life, go to the countryside, make new memories with friends, grill outside, and enjoy the warmth of summer.
Head jaanipÀeva from all the superheroes at Bondora!
