Maypole raising in the pit

The raising of the maypole in the pit is an event everyone should experience. Leksand has Sweden’s tallest maypole, which stands in a central location in the pit. The entire town of Leksand gathers here to cheer on the men as they raise the pole, an event that concludes with singing and dancing around the pole. In 2025, more than 30,000 people took part in the celebration. Read more about the program on the Leksand Municipality website.
