Crayfish party

A Finnish crayfish party, or "rapujuhla," is a beloved tradition celebrating the end of summer. The crayfish, often sourced from local lakes, are boiled in saltwater with dill and sugar, giving them a unique, savory flavor.

At the party, guests enjoy crayfish with bread, butter, mayonnaise and dill. Other dishes include soups, salads, and meats, while drinks range from schnapps and beer to wine and water.

The festivities include singing traditional songs, lighting candles, and taking shots. It's a lively, messy, and joyous event that brings friends and family together.
