What is Valborg (Walpurgis Night)? Celebrated in Sweden on the last day of April, Valborg marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter. This traditional festival features large bonfires, choir singing, and community gatherings to welcome warmer weather, often blending ancient, protective fire rituals with modern university student celebrations.
