History
In 2013 a new radio mast had been built in Böskedal, Sweden. The mast had been met with critique from the local residents and complaints had been sent to the local Swedish government. When the mast was finally finished the local residents of Böskedal held a parodic inauguration with much grandeur. This event laid the foundation of the yearly tradition of the Mastagille (Feast of the Mast).
