The Association of Samba Schools in Finland (ASSF) is an umbrella organization uniting all Finnish samba schools, whose purpose is to promote samba in Finland.
The main event organized by ASSF is the annual Helsinki Samba Carnaval - a Rio de Janeiro style street carnival right in the center of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The first carnival organized by ASSF took place in 1991 in the city of Turku, but since 1993 the event has been organized in Helsinki every summer. On carnival Saturday in June every year, the streets of Helsinki are filled with dancers and drummers presenting their samba in colorful fantasias as tens of thousands of spectators enjoy the show!
I was blessed to be able to witnessed the carnival. It was held on my birthday (June 11) so for me that day was amazing and full of fun. Here are some photos of the events.
