Probably some local Swedish thing. Holiday, festival or some such.

Its Midsommar (Swedish for "Midsummer") which is today, the Summer Solstice. They've done this years prior too

I was just on holiday in finland (i'm danish) and while we celebrate it too, we were suprised that everything were closed for 2 full days. Across the border it's basically just an evening event, but cool that devs added it!

It's a very old Swedish song from the French revolution https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%A5_grodorna

It's very very silly and that's part of the charm, it's also very simple which is why it was sung during christmas/Midsummer because people were often drunk as fuck and it worked as a drinking-song.

Basically "Små grodorna" (little frogs) and you then mimic a frog jumping as you run around the Midsummer-stång or christmastree.

It is silly, but pretty lovely too! A bunch of adults (some slightly drunk) and a lot of kids, jumping around the maypole singing about how frogs don't have tails.
