(Un)Traditional Midsummer

(Un)Traditional Midsummer’s Eve celebrations have been taking place in Parake since 2018. And every year, these celebrations attract more and more people. They are attended by families with children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens, and even people’s beloved pets. However, this year the event has not received any funding. With funding, Midsummer would certainly be different, but even without funding, the (Non)Traditional Midsummer will be cosy and full of Parake spirit. Here is the programme we have prepared for you:
