"Hopefully the weather will be favorable for the partygoers, and people will come to spend a communal picnic moment in Rautatienpuisto. So bring your lunch and a blanket, because you have been invited," wishes cultural producer Minttu Seppo, inviting the entire city to celebrate a gentle celebration of human rights.
