Finnish Independence Day Celebration

Compelled to not break with tradition, Finlandia University will celebrate Finland’s Independence on December 6 at 5:30 p.m., as it has done in some iteration for the last 103 years. This year’s commemoration, under-stated and COVID-19 restriction compliant, will for the first incorporation an Independence Day not seen before in the Upper Peninsula – a torch light procession from Hancock’s City Hall to the Finnish American Heritage Center, where a brief program will be conducted outside. Anyone attending is asked to wear a mask and maintain appropriate social distancing. If you have questions, please reach out to the Finnish American Heritage Center.
