Скачать или смотреть Vappu Finland 🇫🇮 May Day Festival in Turku (traditions + food)

Living in Finland, you'll discover Vappu is unlike any celebration you've experienced—part Labor Day, part spring carnival, part graduation ceremony all rolled into Finland's biggest party of the year. We're taking you inside the Vappu May Day festival in Turku Finland to show you authentic Finnish traditions that locals wait all year to celebrate.

You'll see the iconic 6PM white graduation cap ceremony at Taidemuseonmäki (Art Museum Hill) where thousands gather to put on their ylioppilaslakki sailor caps simultaneously, Finnish university students in colorful haalarit overalls covered in patches, and the streets of downtown Turku transformed into a festival marketplace. We're tasting homemade Finnish sima (traditional lemon mead), showing you classic Finnish street food like grilled sausages and fries, and I'm even teaching you how to make those decorative paper stars from Vappu streamers—a childhood craft I brought with me from my Asian-American upbringing.

Whether you're planning to move to Finland, curious about Nordic culture, or just love authentic cultural celebrations, this is your insider look at why April 30th is the most anticipated day on the Finnish calendar. A local hand surgeon even shares what makes Vappu so special to Finnish families across generations.
