SUSTAINABILITY

Here are five tips for how you can have a more sustainable Midsummer:

  1. Arrive to the Midsummer Bonfires by walking, by bike or by public transportation. There is a city bike station by the bridge. Buses 24 and 24S operate more frequently during the festival.
  2. Respect the nature. Don’t leave behind any permanent traces of yourself or rip off the plants.
  3. Don’t leave trash out into the nature. You will be able to find bins on the island. Remember to separate biowaste into its own bin. If you smoke, take with you your own pocket ashtray.
  4. Return all the cans and bottles. You can leave the empty cans and bottles at Café Mieritz or the Festival ground kiosk, where they will be collected and taken to recycling.
  5. Respect other people. Everyone is welcome at the Midsummer Bonfires as they are. Take others into consideration and respect their physical integrity. If you run into problems, contact the security guards.
