That might have been explained by the fact that in some countries Maypole dancing is done at Midsummer. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maypole. However...the film Midsommar has taken creative liberties with the name Beltane, departing from the actual Swedish tradition.

"Midsommar's Hårga is also distinguished from the song "Hårga" in another major way: Its association with the May Queen. The May Queen isn't a part of the Sweden's midsummer festivals, but rather part of May Day, an ancient holiday celebrated around Europe to commemorate springtime fertility and the arrival of warmer weather."

Beltane simply marks the midpoint in the solar year between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Maypole dancing is more flexible, it seems.
Not the resident expert. Just another spirit keeper. Since 2017.

You must stay on the path. Do not leave it.
If you do, you'll never...
find it again.
No matter what may come, stay on...

Yeah I had a feeling that they've made many mixed combinations with may day and middsommar. But yeah I like the film. I wish they'd make Beltane a federal holiday hahaha
