The first of May sees one of the biggest celebrations of the year in Finland, It's called Vappu and it's orgins are in the ancient pagen times.
Students who have graduated all line the streets in their white, graduation caps and many other, other people also bring out their caps to mark the occasion.
Taken from wikipedia:
'The celebration is typically centered on plentiful use of sparkling wine and other alcoholic beverages.'
Many people told me that this festivals main purpose is to give everyone a good excuse to go out drinking.
