valborgsmässoafton is a festival here in Sweden. We all celebrated it last night, it began with people walking along the street holding a stick with fire and singing traditional Swedish songs. They then light a bonfire and sing songs around it.
Cotton candy, popcorn, coffee and games! A night well spent.
No better way than this to Bid farewell to the winter and say hello to spring!

Yeah, had gone for it at Skansen...there were some concert performances by some Swedish artists and 9.00 p.m some traditionally dressed women lit the bonfire. People then gathered around the fire to make a wish. It was cold and raining as well...but had a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteSeems a nice way to welcome spring after a long and gloomy winter. Send some pictures. Then we will get a feel of the atmosphere.
