Today thousands of people enjoyed street food at the various vendors in the heart of Helsinki. The quarters around the Market and Senate Squares were full of food stalls, odors one more delicious than the other. The streets were crowded – packed with people. Queues were forming already at around 11 am.
The vendors came from all over the world – local vendors with organic food, visiting vendors with tastes from Texas, Tallinn, New York, Stockholm, etc. You could choose between BBQ, traditional hot dogs, hot dogs with pulled pork (that is very hip at the moment), meze, sook, , Iberian pork, charred beef, tacos and what not. The dessert stands offered e g cupcakes and Balinese chocolate cake.
Helsinki is at its best! The weather is gorgeous. It was only last week that we got 15 cm of snow and it was -10 C. Now almost all the snow is gone and the thermometer hit +7 C. Hope you have a change to enjoy the festival. If you haven’t got a change to visit Helsinki discover the festival online at
