December 6th we celebrated Finland’s 100 year of independence at The House of Finland. The same morning the Consulate General of Finland in Los Angeles independence day reception had to be cancelled due to the Los Angeles fires and mandatory evacuations.

6.12. juhlistimme talolla 100-vuotiasta Suomea kakun ja kuplivan kera. Lyhyestä varoituksesta huolimatta paikalle saapui n. 50 juhlijaa. Los Angelesin konsulaatissa piti olla juhla 6.12. aamuna, mutta se jouduttiin perumaan maastopalojen ja alueen evakuoinnin takia.

International Christmas Festival
at Balboa Park
December 1st and 2nd

The members of the House of Finland and many other Finnish San Diegans were very busy with preparing our house to ICF. Once again the House of Finland was magnificent with foods, drinks, decoration and the wintery spirit! Traditionally Santa from Lapland of Finland was visiting at ICF so folk could took a picture with Santa itself.
This year our decoration theme was Finland 100 to celebrate the centenary independence of our loving country. Let the pictures tell the story of ICF 2017.

Ennen kuin Suomi-talo oli valmis vastaanottamaan lukuisat asiakkaat, jäsenistömme sekä monet muut San Diegon suomalaiset olivat kiireisiä erilaisten valmistelujen parissa. Kaikki se työ tuotti tulosta: talomme ja viinatelttamme olivat jälleen lumoavan kauniita, ruuat ja juomat herkullisia ja tunnelma kauniin talvinen. Ennättipä itse joulupukkikin perinteiseen tapaan avuksemme ja ICF-kävijät saivat kuvauttaa itsensä yhdessä joulupukin kanssa.
Tänä vuonna koristelun teemana oli itseoikeutetusti Suomi100 ja lippumme sinivalkoiset värit. Kuvat puhukoot puolestaan.
