Not every Swede participates in lillördag, but the practise resonates with some, like Adolfsson, who find that the midweek break lifts their spirits. And although any weekday can technically be a lillördag (in Norway and Demark, Little Saturday is similarly called lille lørdag), it’s most commonly observed on Wednesdays. University students might party hard with pub specials, but Little Saturday can also be a quiet evening with family and friends or any excuse to pamper oneself. On Instagram, tens of thousands of posts tagged #lillördag show off indulgences from oysters and Champagne to campfires. google
