With no fanfare, hype, or French words accompanying black and white photography, the 49th Finnish Easter Festival will be rolling into town starting Good Friday, and finishing up Easter Sunday.
It’ll all happen at Giralang Oval (Giralang District Playing Fields according to Google Maps). And by all, i mean big AND small log throwing (Kyykkä & Mölkky), as well as mens and womens baseball (Pesäpallo).
Will be plenty of traditional foods (the main reason i attend every year), drinks and a bbq, as well as some stalls selling wares (i think anyway, there usually is).
Games starting at 13:30 Friday, 08:00 Satday and Sunday.
If you and/or your family aren’t doing all that much in the lead up to chocolate comas, or after; come out and enjoy some sunshine (weather dependent), food and drink, while laughing at people wearing silly clothes playing games no-one has even heard of.
TC: I dated a Finnish girl for a while. I met her out at a nightclub when I was 17, she was 17 also so we hit it off knowing that we shouldn’t be in a club sipping on the cocktails that were on fire. Our relationship was based around getting boozed and going to parties, I could always tell when she was drunk when she came up to me and whispered something in Finnish in my ear.
