Halloween brings light to Finland's dark autumn
Published
Halloween is celebrated at the end of October, and although it is not an official holiday in Finland, its popularity has grown significantly in recent years. More and more Finns want to celebrate this themed day in the middle of the dark autumn.
During October, shops and homes fill up with pumpkins, costumes, and various decorations. Children and young people, in particular, enjoy the opportunity to dress up and soak in the festive atmosphere. Halloween offers a nice change of pace during the darkest time of the year.
Many Finns host parties or participate in various events held across the country. Although the tradition has come to Finland from abroad, it has established its place as part of the Finnish autumn season.
The popularity of Halloween shows how Finns are looking for ways to brighten up their everyday lives during the autumn. Even though the weather is often rainy and dark, parties and decorations bring joy and light into people's lives.
