In Uppsala, a long queue stretched from Östgöta nation to Svandammen as students sought tickets for the Champagnegaloppen on Valborg. The event, known as Uppsala's national day, is about a month away. Many braved the rain and cold early in the morning.
Students in Uppsala queued from early morning to secure tickets for the popular Champagnegaloppen on Valborg. The line stretched from Östgöta nation to Svandammen amid rain and cold. Valborg, roughly a month away, is regarded as Uppsala's national day and draws large crowds for celebrations. Sebastian Sjödahl and his friends planned tactically by taking turns through the night. “Tactically, we're top 5,” he laughed. The event is one of the most sought-after during the city's student festivities.
