In Denmark, the eve of St. John’s Day is traditionally celebrated with bonfires on the beaches and parks. The fire is symbolically meant to ward off evil.

Hans,” conducted by its chief conductor Johannes Wildner and featuring a fireworks display of melodies with the captivating violin soloist Tibor Kováč.
