Join us for a joyous celebration of Vappu, Finnish May Day celebration, where we welcome the vibrant arrival of spring and bid farewell to the winter chill! We’ll come together to celebrate the victory of warmth and sunshine with our wonderful friends from the Oulu Cultural and Heritage Center.

Get ready to raise your glasses and toast to Spring with a delightful tradition—Sima, a Finnish-style spring mead that captures the essence of the Northwoods. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy while soaking in the cheerful atmosphere of the day!

But that’s not all! The Oulu Cultural & Heritage Center will be bringing a taste of Finnish culture right to us. Experience the art of loom weaving with a live demonstration, and unleash your creativity with our make-and-take Finnish crafts. Plus, indulge in traditional pastries that are a must-have during Vappu celebrations—perfect for pairing with your refreshing Sima!

Whether you’re a longtime lover of Finnish traditions or new to the festivities, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect with friends old and new, celebrate the beauty of spring, and enjoy a day filled with laughter and creativity.

Mark your calendars and come celebrate with us! 🌼🥳
