Halloween in Finland?
Do Finns celebrate Halloween in Finland? Not really. You might find some dressing up in costumes or having parties, but it's not a widely celebrated day in Finland and is mostly celebrated by kids at schools or daycares - but if you find a party to go to, why not bring some of these delicious Fazer Halloween Cupcakes? While you won't find many Finns celebrating Halloween, "All Saints' Day" is a traditional holiday you will find Finns observing. All Saints' Day (Pyhäinpäivä) falls on the first Saturday between October 31st and November 6th. This is a day to remember the deceased and is a solemn, quiet day - quite the opposite of Halloween.
