Saint John’s Eve is traditionally celebrated with bonfires.
In many countries, bonfires are lit on the evening and people dance and sing around it.
In the Norwegian town of Alesund, bonfires are taken to the extreme.
The townsfolk build towering bonfires called Slinningsbalet that rises over one hundred feet.
The previous record was 37.84 meters (124.14 feet) set in 1993.
