Easter Bonfires have been lit in Seurasaari on Holy Saturdays since 1982.

First bonfire will be lit earlier in the evening and then, as the darkness falls upon the scene, a huge Easter bonfire will light up the sky. 

In the Ostrobothnia region (north-western Finland) bonfires were lit, because people in the old days believed that fires and smoke would ward off evil spirits.
