Some Odd Finnish Festivals

- World Wife Carrying Championships, yes it is true and it takes place in June at Sonkajärvi in the Eastern Province of Finland.
- Finnish Sauna World Championships,Heinola 4-5 August.This has to be one of the craziest but warm events.
- Swamp Football,Hyrynsalmi,July17-18.A very wet and messy affair,its the 12th anniversary this year.The event dates back to the 19th century;hopefully not the wifes!
- The World Air Guitar Championships,Oulu 19-21 August.Who knows an aspiring bobby Ingram or Frank Zappa may be spotted
One to really try and visit is The Savonlinna Opera Festival,A World Famous Finnish Festival with tousands coming from around the world.The festival season July 3 – August 1, 2009 begins with one of the most popular works in the operatic repertoire, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. This production telling the tragic tale of a Japanese Geisha and an American officer.The festival is set in the Olavinlinna Castle a beautiful and inspiring setting for audiences and singers alike.Thats it for now,however i shall bring you more as I find it, Greg

I think other site proprietors should take this web site as an model, very clean and great user genial style and design, let alone the content. You’re an expert in this topic!

Please let me know if you get to the sauna championships in August. I’d love to read your report on the event. I”m enjoying your website between my own sauna rounds..
You’ll soon to be joined by those little biting bugs up there, when I lived in England, I don’t think I ever got a mosquito bite. http://www.saunatimes.com for my Scandinavian introduction to mosquitoes. I dig them so much that I moved to Minnesota. The American variety seem just as resilient, I think it’s their Hamburger diet.
Th bugs/mocquitos that you refer too,I find tend to be most popular around water.hence I stay away if there are alot around.The other serious little critters are the mosquitos in Laplannnnd.These are not content to just sting you,but actually bite chunks of flesh from your skin.That is why I do not visit the place in summer.Of course you should try the sprays available
off
other than that the are a variety of tar canles that I find to be effective(just sit downwind of them!….. lol Greg{ 1 trackback }
