Russia's "Midnight Festival" is a unique and magical festival that interweaves nature and culture. It celebrates the phenomenon of midnight in the area within the Arctic Circle during the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere.

On this day, the local streets are still as bright as day despite the late night, and the sunset and morning glow interweave to create a dreamlike scene that makes people feel as if they are outside the flow of time. People will hold various celebrations, such as outdoor concerts, dance performances, bonfire parties, etc., to celebrate this unique and beautiful moment together.
