and its a long weekend with friday as a public holiday.
We celebrate the spring and lit big bonfires
with the family and many get together on public arranged events.
Its also popular to sing spring songs.
The winter is finally over!
If you want to read more about Walpurgis night and the history around it

This is some pictures from our quite and relaxed Valborg (yesterday)
