Join us in Central Park for a late Vappu picnic celebration in May 5, 2024 from 2 PM - 5 PM! Vappu is a Finnish holiday that is a celebration of spring, Labor Day, and May Day all rolled into one. After a long winter, people pour out in the streets and parks for spirited celebrations, picnicking, and consumption of traditional drinks and sweets.
NYC Molkky Association will bring a Mölkky Lawn Game and anyone is welcome to join and play the popular outdoor game. We also serve delicious Finnish mead (sima) and funnel cakes (tippaleipiä) as long as they last.
If you are interested in participating in making the Finnish funnel cakes (tippaleipä)at Kota Nest in Harlem before the Vappu picnic, kindly contact Nelli Niemelä +1 (917) - 825 3270.
Bring a blanket to sit on and some snacks or lunch if you like! And of course, wear your student cap if you brought it to New York! Families with kids welcome!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
