For most Swedes, Midsummer simply isn’t Midsummer without strawberries. ❤️🍓

Served with cream, on cakes or eaten straight from the bowl, they mark the arrival of summer and have become one of Sweden’s most beloved traditions.

And in Halland, on Sweden’s west coast, strawberry season is finally here. Across the region, you’ll find farm shops, roadside stands and places where you can pick your own berries.

This could be your Swedish National Day in Halland. ❤️🇸🇪

🕝 08:12
Wake up in Halland.
Soft salty wind. Coffee boiling. National Day waiting outside.

🕝 09:20
The sea calls.
Cold? Maybe. Still worth it.

🕝 10:41
Time to move.
Hair still salty. And something ahead.

🕝 12:05
Follow the music.
Flags above. And celebration all around.

🕝 15:15
Stay a little longer.
Late lunch. And nowhere to rush.

🕝 20:48
Not quite done yet.
Light fading. And a summer evening still waiting.

Across Halland, June 6 takes different shapes. Live music, celebrations, local traditions, community and summer gatherings.

Why June 6? In 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected king, marking Sweden’s break from the Kalmar Union. On the same date in 1809, Sweden adopted a new constitution.

Meet hårginst (Genista pilosa).
Halland’s landscape flower.

This small yellow plant has survived in Halland’s sandy heathlands for centuries. A reminder of the old open landscapes that once covered large parts of this region on the Swedish west coast.

Hårginst usually blooms during May and June, turning parts of the landscape yellow for a short time each early summer.

You can find it in places like:
• Mästocka Ljunghed, Laholm
• Vessinge Sandhedar, Laholm
• Övragård, Laholm
• Hollandsbjär, Laholm
• Hällarp, Falkenberg
• Vapnö and Åled gravel pits, Halmstad
