strange day #6 Celebrate MIDSUMMER with Strange Fellows Brewing Strange Day #6 at Strange Fellows Brewing, June 15th through 21st As the sun sets on the longest day of the year, all over the world people light bonfires to celebrate the sun's triumph over darkness. In some places people jump over the fire to symbolically ward off the cold of the coming winter. Elsewhere, fishermen gather on the edge of the ocean to pray and make offerings to the Siren of the Seas in exchange for safe passage and a bountiful catch.
