During summer festivals couples used to go to search for a mythical fern flower, that was only flowering during the summer solstice. Of course they went searching at night. If you found one, it was supposed to make you rich and successful. So in reality, it was just an excuse for couples / young people to go into the woods and fuck all night.
The celebrations also included: bathing, dancing, decorating with flowers, lighting fires, jumping through the fire and chasing away witches. People also got married. Sometimes they plowed the village roads, so a dude could find a "match" (i.e. get to plow someone else). They'd also figuratively roast people for being dicks / immoral.
Sounds like a good time!
