På dagens midsommarfester säljs förtäring och det sker även traditionella tävlingar som hoppa säck, bära ett ägg/potatis och andra lokalt förekommande seder.
For midsummer it is tradition in Sweden to raise a "midsommarstång". It can be different in hight, but this one was about 5 meters tall. The midsommarstång is traditionally dressed in flowers and leaves. After it is raised people dance traditional dances around it. While dancing singing also accours. In the image below you see one traditional variant of midsommarstång.
At present midsummer parties you may buy something to eat and many also have competitions like "hopping in a sack", running with a potatoe or a egg and other local games.
