Summer heat
Every summer the locals impatiently await as the rhubarb rolls in followed by berries and fresh vegetables and then we say farewell to the warm months with fresh seafood and celebrate the grand finale with crayfish, as we settle into impending autumn and the mushroom season.
I love spring because it reminds me of how everything is possible. The first tufts of grass appear in the parks as hundreds of locals climb the steps of the cathedral to soak up the long-awaited sun. Welcome to Helsinki in springtime!

Seasonal food
t is not only the weather that the locals of Helsinki await for every summer but the seasonal food and canopy kiosks and local business that open up only for this brief time of the year.
