Helsinki public playgrounds: 75 summers of free meals for children.

The public playgrounds of Helsinki celebrate an anniversary on Helsinki Day, 12 June: they have been serving hot summer meals to children for 75 years! The playgrounds mark the day by serving their young customers clear rainbow trout soup with rye bread. They also offer diverse activities to celebrate the anniversary.
