Eastern fires in the Vaasa Region 2024

The Easter fire tradition is still a living folk tradition in Ostrobothnia. These days, village associations and other organizations, such as youth associations and sports clubs, organize village bonfire events, keeping the tradition alive. Building bonfires and collecting materials for them often starts well before Holy Saturday when the fires are lit.

The bonfire squares are meeting places for people of all ages, where they can see their friends and socialize with each other. Often, the villagers sell coffee and hot sausages near the bonfire and hold raffles. Trullit/påskhäxor (small children dressed as Easter witches) often get a small reward for attending the bonfire celebrations.
