The Wianki Festival of Wreaths is held on June 23 in Washington, D.C. every year. The observance originates from Poland, where the word wianki means "wreaths" in Polish. Polish-American girls on St. John's Eve (June 23) make wreaths out of fresh greens, put a lit candle in the center and set them afloat in the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Then the young men will gather around the pool, hoping that the wind will blow their girlfriend's wreath towards them.

The Kupalo Festival originated in Ukraine.  It is celebrated in both the United States and Ukraine today on June 24. The word Kupalo originates from the name of the god of summer and fertility.
