If you don’t know how May Day is celebrated in Finland and why it’s important, this old Helsingin Sanomat article will give you the lowdown.  This year it was a little bit chilly but not unseasonably cold.  I noticed there was less people wearing high school graduation caps and more “carnival” style headwear.  I guess some sort of ethnographic inventory is in order, as still people don’t know what my cap is all about.
