Innbyggere i Gagnef binder kranser før midtsommerfeiringen

I kirkebyen i Gagnef samles bjørkekvister og blomster til midtsommerstangen. Arrangørene fremhever tradisjonens betydning for lokalsamfunnet.

Lina Hård af Segerstad binder kranser torsdag kveld i Gagnef kirkeby. Hun forteller at barna har funnet mye blomster i området.

Feiringen finner sted ved Minnesstugorna med utsikt over elven og verdens eneste flytebro som tillater biltrafikk. Gagnef mottar mange besøkende i løpet av høytiden.

Rasmus Sävenmark, leder for folkemusikkgruppen, understreker at spillemenn og melodier som er spilt gjennom generasjoner er viktige for tradisjonen.
