Juhannus Dornbuschissa

 °

Such fun!

Finnisch für Anfänger:

HYVIN SUUNNITELTU ON PUOLIKSI TEHTY
Gut geplant ist halb gemacht
Well planned is half done


Well, the organizing committee not only plans and masters
but they also work, indeed they do. Planning and shopping and
covering some sensitive floors ...


... searching stuff in the spooky cellar ...


... putting up the stage for the band ...


... carrying out tables and benches.
In the early afternoon hot sun.


Very important delivery: juhannuskoivut!
Birch trees are THE decoration element in Finland.
Every house has two birch trees at the entrance door
over the midsummer time.
So lucky us, the Finnish artist Pentti Lepistö managed to
deliver some birch trees for the Finnish party in Dornbusch.



Finnisch für Anfänger:

JUHANNUSKOIVU = Mittsommerbirke / Midsummerbirch


Frankfurtin alueen Suomi-toimijioden edustajat lavalla:
(oikealta vasemmalle)
kauppakillan Tomi, DFGn Leena mikin ääressä, SISU-radion Ode,
Suomi-Koulun Inka ja kuvausasennossa seurakunnan Markus.
Lippuairue DFG-Harry vasemmalla.
Nämä yhdistykset saivat juhannusjuhlat kasaan.


Suvivirsi.
This song is sung in Finland in the schools at the end of May
when the long summer holidays start.
It is THE song for start of the summer.


The stage was needed as we had the band UUSIKUU performing.
Here Laura, the lead singer sneaking into the backstage area.


UUSIKUU on stage and people started dancing!


Jenkka is one of the popular dances in Finland,
and letkajenkka is a special form of it when everybody
dance together behind each other.

😂
Check this video and learn letkajenkka:



Thanks UUSIKUU,
thanks Mikko, Laura, Sebastian and Norbert
for coming and performing.



Frankfurt city version of a juhannuskokko.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

JUHANNUSKOKKO 
Das Juhannuskokko ist eine uralte Tradition, mit der der Jahreslauf 
und die helle Nacht gefeiert werden und böse Geister ferngehalten werden sollen.

Thanks to Inka we also could enjoy the ORIGINAL lonkero.
It isa mix of gin and grapefruit lemonade.
A very special Finnish drink in the summertime.


YHDESSÄ - together we made it: a great party!
