May Day

The 1st of May or "Vappu" as said in Finnish is a day off in Finland. It is the labour day and there is a lot of political activity going on. Also people gather around the parks and marketplaces to celebrate the spring. Balloons, streamers, horns and other stuff play a big role in this celebration.

Note: If you look closely you can see some famous finnish characters: The green pig from the famous mobile game Angry Birds and also Muumipeikko (Moomintroll) with Niiskuneiti (the Snork Maiden) from the Moomin series.
