Actually idk what may day is...
In
Finland, Walpurgis night (
Vappu) ("
Vappen") is one of the five biggest holidays along with Christmas Eve,
New Year's Eve, Easter (
Pääsiäinen), and
Midsummer (
Juhannus - Midsommar).
[44] Walpurgis witnesses the biggest
carnival-style festival held in Finland's cities and towns. The celebrations, which begin on the evening of 30 April and continue on 1 May, typically centre on the consumption of
sima,
sparkling wine and other
alcoholic beverages. Student traditions, particularly those of engineering students, are one of the main characteristics of
Vappu. Since the end of the 19th century, this traditional upper-class feast has been appropriated by university students. Many
lukio (university-preparatory high school) alumni wear the black and white
student cap and many higher education students wear
student coveralls. One tradition is to drink
sima, a home-made low-alcohol
mead, along with freshly cooked
funnel cakes.
