The MidSummer Festival is an event at the Old Bakery & Emporium, a historic building originally built by Swedish immigrant Charles Lundberg. The festival is the final event in the To Fika series, run by the Oakwood Cemetery Chapel. In Swedish culture, Fika is a daily cultural tradition in which people stop working and spend time with colleagues, coworkers and friends over coffee and sweets. Fika is about companionship, fellowship, chatting and socializing. After a long time apart–not gathering, not spending time with neighbors, coworkers and friends, we welcome visitors to gather at the to share time and space, and a delicious bite together at the Old Bakery & Emporium at MidSummer Fest.
