Vappu

I'm doing some severe catching up here. Vappu is on April 30th/May 1st, so this is about 11 days late. As always, I redirect you to the Wikipedia page on Vappu, because I don't have the energy to plagiarize from it. I went out for the festivities on the 30th and the weather was beautiful. The people were slightly crazy though, as you'll see from my photos. Just so you know, the white hats that everyone is wearing in the photos are the student caps. When Finnish students graduate from high school they get these hats, and every Vappu (which is a big student holiday) people wear their hats.


A mobile disco in the park!












Sparkling wine is also a Vappu tradition.
