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.

To you also.

Do you have a maypole tradition? I used to be so nervous I'd go the wrong way and get all the ribbons knotted up. Not sure I was ever picked- probably for the best...

I hope you had a great Vappu day, it sounds like an interesting, fun day. Over here it's just Worker's Day, a normal public holiday.
