I'm trying to find out when midsummer day will be in 2010. I've searched various sites on the web and have found conflicting reports, some say June 19th and other says June 26th. Does anyone know the correct date?

Midsummer is celebrated the weekend following the third Monday in June
Alas Midsummer Day on a Saturday 20th to 26th June and Midsummer Eve 19th to 25t June. Midsummer day is 2010 Saturday 26th June.

Note! that in Sweden it's "Midsummer eve" (Friday 25th 2010) that's celebrated. Same as with Christmas Eve.

The summer solstice on the other hand, when the night is the shortest of the year, is on 21th June. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice

Hope you will enjoy Midsummer!
