Iltalehti follows the celebrations of the Independence Day Linna all evening moment by moment in this article.
The celebration of Independence Day traditionally culminates in the Linna party. The President of the Republic of Finland Alexander Stubb and his wife Suzanne Innes-Stubb are organizing the Independence Day reception for the second time.
Veterans of our wars are not seen in the castle. The presidential couple organized their own event for them earlier this week, where veterans, lotti and other representatives of the war generations were present.
Politicians and familiar faces from the entertainment world will be seen at the party reception today. More than half of the party guests are first-timers, and the theme of the party is education and culture.
Iltalehti follows the Linna’s celebrations on site, from the door of the Presidential Palace to the castle and beyond. You can follow the progress of the party night in the tracking below.
