Sweden's Midsummer's Eve, fixed to the Friday between June 19-25, is widely considered more culturally significant than New Year's Eve, with much of the country effectively pausing for maypole dancing and outdoor gatherings. National Day (June 6) was only made an official public holiday in 2005, replacing Whit Monday, one of the more recent calendar swaps in Scandinavia.
