As the Finnish tradition is what it is, I was very intrigued with the idea to present street food to Finns. And so were about 20, other people who showed up to the event, thus congesting the whole area of Kauppatori. The idea was extremely welcome; well-made, perhaps a bit exotic meals to be offered from pop-up booths at the convenience of just dropping in and out.
One and a half hour. At that convenience one could just go to a fine dining restaurant and order the best hamburger in the city and perhaps to get the head waiter to perform a tap-dance. The prices were way too steep, though. A child found himself a little joy between the masses of people, in form of a muddy puddle, whilst his sister watched the ongoing play. The workers of TacoBot putting up a sign signifying the opening hours; the booth opened only at 1 PM, whereas the official starting time was 11 AM.

A young child at the table of Savotta. An extremely happy waiter of Savotta bringing French toasts to passengers. The strawberry jam had been flavoured with moonshine. An actor giving out leaflets to promote a museum. Three girls Instagramming about their brownies. Kauppatori was extremely packed with people. There were estimatedly tens of thousands of people, which is amazing, especially when considering the low population of Finland 5 mil.

Even before 4 PM, third of the booths had sold out, lengthening the already too long lines of other booths. Your email address will not be published.
