We went to Skansen on Midsummer's Eve in 2017. If you go, I suggest you buy tickets in advance so you don't have to wait in a long line when you get there. It's very easy to get to by public transport. It's on Djurgården island, which is also home to the Abba Museum, the Vasa Museum, an amusement park, restaurants, and many other attractions. I went to Skansen at the suggestion of a Swedish expat I met here in New Zealand (where I live). It's an open-air museum, so in addition to special Midsummer performances, raising of the maypole, so on, there are also historic structures to look at and demonstrations of traditonal customs and occupations, and a zoo.
Have you looked at Skansen's website page on Midsummer celebrations?

I also suggest you book restaurants ahead of time, as many restaurants will be closed, not just on Midsummer's Eve but on the preceding day and weekend.

There's also some useful info on this 2017 blog by the concierge of Stockholm's Rival Hotel.

Thanks for the suggestions and links. I'll check them all to help plan the trip. I realize that many sites and restaurants will be closed. This will be more of a challenge than I expected.

You'll find plenty to do and see. Stockholm is a beautiful city. We were there for Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Midsummer weekend holiday. On the Friday, we checked into our hotel at around noon (flying in from Helsinki), then made our way to Skansen, Later we went to Gamla Stan, walked around and had dinner. On the Saturday, we went to Moderna Museet (Modern Art Museum) on Stockholm's Skeppsholmen island, then took a tour of the City Hall, then had dinner on Djurgården island. We also had time to walk into a few shops, such a Åhléns department store. On our final day, Sunday, we visited the photography museum, Fotografiska, then caught the ferry into the archipelago to Vaxholm island, walked around a bit, then returned to spend more time looking around Gamla Stan for a restaurant for dinner, but the wait times were too long (we hadn't made reservations for our final night), so we ended up dining at our hotel. The weather was wonderful and the nights were long.

It is a special time to visit Sweden or Scandinavia in general.
