Helsinki day is celebrated every year on the birthday of the Finland’s capital, 12th June. One day was not enough for such an important occasion so we are having a Helsinki week as well. Actually, it lasts almost two weeks…
Helsinki samba carnaval is probably the biggest event of the week. Today the carnaval was opened and I was there as you can see from the photo. Tomorrow on Saturday samba schools will parade and compete in central Helsinki.
