Traditional Valborg celebrations in Uppsala cancelled

The celebration of Valborg was cancelled last year because of the pandemic. The actors involved in Valborg activities have now reluctantly concluded again that it is impossible to celebrate safely. The COVID-19 situation can be expected to remain serious even at the end of April. Consequently, a joint decision has been taken that activities associated with the traditional celebration of Valborg in Uppsala will be cancelled this year as well.
