Today is Juhannus, the Finnish midsummer. Most
people have left the city to spend it with family and friends on their summer
cottages.
The city might appear like a ghost town since
most places – even bars and pubs – will be closed. But there is still something
going on here during Juhannus.

Experience for example the traditional midsummer
celebration at Seurasaari where the big Juhannus kokot (fires) are lit. The
celebration starts at 18:00 and continues till late at night. The entrance fee
is 18 €. Kids under 15 years are free.
Or see the big Juhannus fire further outside on
the island of Pihlajasaari. A boat takes you there from next to Café Carusel.
The fire is lit at 21:00.
Have a great Juhannus!
