Celebrate Sauna Day today

My grandpa Ivar, grandma Anna Kaisa and their children are all enjoying saunas in the great beyond. And we should too.

 

Happy Sauna Day!

coming soon-- Sauna Day

The second Saturday in June has been designated as Sauna Day. Now if only I can think of a fun way to celebrate the occasion.

"Sauna Day" — a reason for a party

When I first researched for my book, “Some Like it Hot: The Sauna, Its Lore and Stories,” I discovered the Finnish SaunaSociety had designated a Sauna Day on the second Saturday in June in Finland. It’s a date I hadn’t been aware of — we’d never celebrated it. 

I’m disappointed not to see listed on their current website. Maybe Sauna Day doesn’t happen there. 

But it seems like a great idea. Mark June 14 on your calendars and plan for some special löyly. 

How will we celebrate here? We won’t be — because we’ll be traveling.  and won’t be firing up the stove. Oh, well. Sauna scents, new towels or buckets, visitors —  all would make this day fun.

Do you have any special traditions for Sauna Day?
