Midsummer Party — Harjumaa

The venue is an hour out and there is no mains power where the marquee goes up. By the time someone mentions it, the caterers are already on site and sunset is six hours closer. Midsummer parties in Harjumaa happen in beautiful places that were never wired for two hundred people, and the gap between the idea and the infrastructure is where most events stumble.

We arrive assuming nothing works. The rig is specced for generator power, the van carries what the nearest town will not stock, and the load-in schedule builds in the hour it takes to find the barn in the first place. Harjumaa in June is long light and short roads, but it still pays to know which junction floods and where the phone signal drops.
