Cool but I’m not too sure about how it is represented.
Everything is just to… bright and flowery.
And if this would tour right in front of me, without context, I would no recognize it.
It looks so different from what I’m used to.
My culture is not your parade!!!
Love the one with Väinämöinen and the lily-of-the-valleys.
So cool! My pet snake is named after the first one, Iku-Turso.
Can we get a parade like this to Finland too?
It would be awesome.
Salmon snake, right?
Thats cultural appropriation! 😡😡
These are super cool!
These are beautiful and fun and interesting, but what an odd mix of cultures… I mean, it’s not Lemminkäinen’s Mother rolling down the street.
Holy s***. Amazing! Nice and so satisfying to see our lore in this way!
What an actual f**k.. How is this a thing?
Cool
Typo in ilmatar.
That’s cool. We should have Kalevala-inspired parades in Finland too!
Nope, I don’t like this one bit.
It’s too much and it’s too flashy. But I guess theres nothing I can do about it so I’ll just stop complaining
Suomi mainittu! Torilla tavataan!
that’s fun
Damn, that’s great. The style reminds me of some of the album covers of Ozric Tentacles.

Really cool, thanks for sharing! Is there a driving reason why exactly finnish mythology? Just wondering
These are so cool! 😀
I might be wrong but that doesn’t look like Kalevala to me but I’m just a normal person not a Kalevala professional
Words can not express my love for these pictures!
That’s so cool. If I ever have the means to visit USA, New Orleans during Mardi Gras would be on the bucket list. Plus I am a huge history nerd so the city itself is also intetesting.
What!? I visited New Orleans and the Mardi Gras World in October and we walked through the storage hall. Didn’t notice it back then, but didn’t really dig into that deep tbh.
This is really dope and for me wholesome.
You made my day better, thank you.

Damn, these look amazing.
That’s cool and so random too
These are absolutely amazing! I love them all!
I’d never have expected something like this in a Mardi Gras parade tbh.
That’s so amazing!!
Here’s a YouTube video of the parade. The first 1hr20min is the Krewe of Proteus’s Finland floats

Accurate I think.
These are AMAZING!
Well done, Krewe of Proteus!
