International House Turku

✨ Happy Midsummer – Hyvää juhannusta! ✨

Midsummer (juhannus) is one of the most cherished Finnish traditions, marking the summer solstice and the season of endless light. 🌅

Whether you are heading to a lakeside cabin, enjoying a traditional bonfire (kokko), or just relaxing in the quiet city, we want to wish a wonderful and peaceful weekend!

Remember to enjoy the midnight sun and maybe test a few Midsummer magic tricks – like placing seven flowers under your pillow tonight to see your future spouse in a dream! 🌸✨

The International House Turku team wishes you a joyful Midsummer!

We look forward to meeting you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday for the final Piispisperjantai of the season, and to everyone who dropped by throughout the spring. We hope our gatherings helped you get to know the local community and made Turku feel a little more like home.

We believe that even if you are going through a difficult time it is always important to step outside your apartment and stay open to new opportunities. Who knows, you might make a new friend or a valuable connection along the way! And we are here to help you!

We wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you again at the end of August. Stay tuned!
