Valborgsmassevening

This is another Swedish tradition that you all need to read about. April 30th every year we celebrate something called Valborg. At this time of year we gather in big groups and lit fires, mostly of leaves and old branches that have been collected from " winter cleaning" to welcome the summer. So pretty much, officially, Spring/Summer is supposed to start on May 1st. Many demonstrations are held for different purposes on May 1st, this is also a national holiday in Sweden, meaning, everyone gets work/school off.

So Happy Valborg everybody!
