Independence day candle event
Light a candle to celebrate Finland’s Independence 6.12.!
LYY is organizing an Independence Day candle event – by participating you can get yourself LYY’s 6.12 -overall badge.

You can take part in the event by lighting two candles in your window on Independence Day. If you don’t have candles yet, don’t worry, LYY will give out a limited number of them at the F-wing service point on Friday 4.12., starting at noon.
- LYY members that take part in the event can also get a free overall badge:
