I survived quite well the crazy day of the Valborgsafton (here in Sweden everything is celebrated in the eve of the event, therefore the "afton" which means literally "eve"). During the day, the city park was invaded by young people celebrating the first day of picnic by drinking non-stop lots and lots of alcohol...
In the afternoon, in front of one important university building, the Lund Student Choir sang melodies in the honor of spring. One specific sign that the warm season arrived finally is the blooming magnolia tree - so very pretty! At the end of the miniconcert, the current and former students were allowed to wear again the student cap, looking quite different from the American one... My words fail me in trying to describe this, so I will try to attach some pics.
And in the evening each and every one in town gathered together with friends (typically around barbecues) and had a party of their own.
