Invånare i Gagnef binder kransar inför midsommarfirande

I Gagnefs kyrkby samlas björkris och blommor till midsommarstången. Arrangörer betonar traditionens betydelse för bygden.

Lina Hård af Segerstad binder kransar på torsdagskvällen i Gagnefs kyrkby. Hon säger att barnen har hittat massor med blommor i området.

Firandet sker vid Minnesstugorna med utsikt över älven och världens enda flottbro som tillåter biltrafik. Gagnef tar emot många besökare under högtiden.

Rasmus Sävenmark, ordförande i spelmanslaget, understryker att spelmän och låtar som spelats i generationer är viktiga för traditionen.
