​The Helsinki Harps Folk Group has brought the long-standing traditions of Strawboys, Mumming, and the Wren to Finland. These customs, deeply rooted in community celebrations, were first introduced to Helsinki in Autumn 2022. The group performed at various locations across the city, ending with a lively pub session. Since then, the Strawboys' performances have evolved into seasonal productions, showcased in theaters, galleries, and bars around Helsinki.
