Independence Day of Finland

It was December 6 last, I know it's been a long time. But I want you to share the fireworks that took place on the main square of the town hall, the place Keskustori. About Independence Day in Finland is not a holiday but a day of commemoration of those who died for the country's independence. This is probably due to the proximity of events, because Finland has been independent only since 1917.

Here is the video of the fireworks, just after a cost shift from the Finnish national anthem.
