In (mostly Northern) Finland you can see the Midnight Sun in summer only. In June, July and August mainly. Pretty many times, then. : )

Like in the most countries, the days get longer as the summer comes and shorter when the winter is on its way.
But if you go far enough north you will get to a time of year that the sun does not go all the way down the horizon.
From then to when the day get shorter you can see the midnight sun everyday.
According to a map I have seen you need to be north of Muonio to see it.
I have been in Norway, quite a bit south of the pole circle, and while the sun did go down, it did not get dark this time of year.
We were outside reading the newspaper at midnight and when I woke one morning at 4 AM it was full daylight again.

It depends totally where in Finland you are. If you are in Helsinki -never. It does not get dark in the middle of night currently, but you cannot see the sun, it does go down.
If you are north of Tornio in Aavasaksa you can see it on midsummer night (June the 22nd) but not at other times. The more North you go, the longer the day becomes. If I recall correctly, the radio forecast for Utsjoki, which is almost the northernmost tip, tells that the sun gets up in early June and goes down in late July, early August. You have to be on the North pole to have 6 month day and 6 month night. Finland does not extend that far north. For exact times look into Wikipedia or some such.
A very bright summer for you! wishes marya
