This is the biggest celebration in the year for estonians (when there is no song festival, at least), and also in other nordic countries. Despite the celebrations differ in the date, they all celebrate the longest (with respect to daylight) day in the year (which, because of the latitude, is really long, over 20 hrs). In Estonia it is celebrated the 23rd June, St. John's day. Here 2 pictures: the first enjoying BBQ with friends at Hiiumaa and the 2nd showing me drunken jumping over the fire.
