Have a look yourself on the Kamppi website. The Kampituspäivät will continue until Sunday.

Here comes the spring

Spring with its warm sunbeams seems to slowly arrive to Southern Finland. At least it looks like it and for the next two weeks the temperatures are not likely to fall below zero anymore.
