This is a terrific opportunity for companies dealing with the tourism industry to attract people who are interested in cultural tourism.

Fettisdagen is basically celebrated on the Tuesday that precedes Lent. Some people may not be aware, but Swedes gorge on semlor, a delicious almond paste pastry, on this day. The custom of devouring semlor dates all the way back to the 16th century and has swiftly become a staple in every household of Sweden. Despite the absence of solemnness on this day due to fasting, the enjoyment for sweets never subsides.

The original title “semla” was an unsophisticated name for a bread roll, however it has developed over centuries into a delightful mouth watering dessert. But Fettisdagen is not solely about gorging on pastries, it also captures the spirit of building community and the vitality of the Swedish culture, especially when welcoming the spring season and bidding adieu to the bitter winter season.
