Vappua!

Vappu is one of the main holiday's celebrated in Finland! It's sort of a mix between Labor Day, graduation, and May Day! 


On Vappu people that completed high school wear a white rimmed hat. People eat funnel cake, drink champagne or Sima (a fermented soda).  The kids buy balloons and wear costumes if they like. 


This is a bottle of Sima! Vappu is usually spent grilling, picnicking and eating! Enjoy these pics from our Vappu adventure! 





Here's a link to some local news footage!
