Hehehe! Bonjour Marion. Le ciel est aujourd’hui gris, mais le ciel bleu de mes photos nous donne une esperance de plus beau. Merci beaucoup de ton balade!

didn’t know you had carnival like this in finland, always thought the weather to be too cold. I don’t know, it’s a stereotype ppl from southern Europe have maybe, sorry :o).
@Marion, “samba si, trabajo no” c’est espagnol mais au Brésil (Brasil) ils parlent portugais “samba sim, trabalho não” 😉

Hi Thelocalguide. I guess that You are right. Last summer when I visitited these festival, which was in order XIX, there were some tourists from Brazil also. But those who were visting Helsinki without any earlier information, seemed to be very surprized. In 2020 the XX Samba Festivals are hold on 11-12.6.2010. Bem-vindo!

Hello Thelocalguide,
Exact, mais j’avais entendu l’histoire racontée par un Espagnol, et elle m’est restée telle quelle ! 😉
Bonne journée, trabalho… sim ?!! 😛

Okay I promise say nothing to Anna. 🙂
As You see, there can be also “life” in the North!

Great, I can hardly believe it, in Helsinki! 😉

Hello Bente.
Yes it is true – every summer. The feeling is great or maybe “hot”. Samba is heard every where in Helsinki then.
Happy week-end!

It’s great to see how life is in Helsinki. How beautiful this is.

Hello Hussein Omar.
Sometimes blogs give info which might surprise its readers.
Comment by Sartenada — March 2, 2012 @ 15:29 |
Yes…I was surprised. I’m hoping to come to Finland this summer, along with a lot of other Eastern European countries!
Comment by Travel Spirit — March 2, 2012 @ 16:25 |
Hello Travel Spirit.
You are welcome. So nice to read that You are surprised. In Finland You can find: East meets West, Finnish culture has many things from the time when we were under the rule of Sweden and then we have also our own culture. If You are interested in “Eastern culture”, then take a look at my Orthodox churches.
In addition of Annual Samba festivals we have also Tango festival. Yes, we are yet dancing Tangos and we make them. One unforgettable memory might be to visit on some open air dancing pavilion on country side. Then we have great castles like Olavinlinna Castle in which there it is hold every summer Opera Festivals inside the castle. Check for castles in my blog to get better idea of Olavinlinna castle. Check also Suomenlinna castle in Helsinki in my blog – surprises more.
Thank You for Your comment.

Comment by Marilyn Albright — April 4, 2013 @ 16:07 |
Hi Marilyn.
That’s right, who could have guessed. The feeling is “at the top” everywhere in Helsinki and sounds of Samba is heard everywhere in the town. Welcome!
Have great day!
Comment by Sartenada — April 5, 2013 @ 07:23 |

Hi Johanna.
The whole town is full of Samba dancers here and there, but the show is best. Thank You commenting.

Très beau partage.

Coucou Wzeig.
Je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé mon article présentant le carnaval de samba à Helsinki. Cela fait maintenant deux ans que nous n’avions pas la possibilité de les organiser – vous pouvez deviner la raison. 🙂 Une fois, ma fille a également participé au carnaval de samba. Merci pour votre commentaire élogieux.
Bon weekend. Matti
