Fern Blossom
Jun 19, 2008 Festival
We have our greatest festival coming on the night of 23rd of June. Summer Solstice!
Generally it means that everyone gathers around the fire with friends and stays awake all night long. There is a place for beer and singing also. And after having a beer or two (or a six-pack) some get bored and walk around in pairs in search of the famous fern blossom. Of course, they can’t find anything in the dark, so they stick to having something romantic instead. This is why so many people have birthday around 23rd of March. :)
