June 21 Denmark's Greenland National Day. The day was introduced by the former Home Rule in 1985, and it was on this date that Greenland gained self-government in 2009.
June 23 Jónsmessunótt (Midsummer's Night) in Iceland. While the midsummer festivals are much more prominent in Scandinavia than in Iceland, this day has a lot of Icelandic folklore surrounding it. A great way to explore the country during this time is with the many available midnight sun tours in Iceland. One of the old wives' tales about Jónsmessa is that the dew during this night can heal all kinds of ailments of the skin, so people might roll around in the dewy grass totally naked to enjoy its benefits to the fullest, while some make do by just walking around barefoot in the grass.
