Weekly Digest 3/2024

Happy Late Architecture Day!

This year, in addition to various delicacies, the events at the beginning of February will  include some election coffees! Early voting for the second round of the presidential election ends today, but don’t worry, on Sunday you can still vote at your own polling station and perhaps celebrate with discounted Runeberg tarts after.

During the next two weeks, in addition to the excitement of the election results, there will be several webinars, sits and Valentine’s Day-themed events. In addition, perhaps the most important event of the winter is the forthcoming traditional LASKIAISRIEHA on Ullanlinnanmäki. So bring your overalls and equipment and see you at Ullis!

Come and say hello under AK’s black tent on the 13th,
