I think we had one (and still have remnants in some forms, e.g. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloemencorso ) and most probably Finland 
did also, it is just that the tradition died out. Using my thumb as a 
reliable source of hypotheses, it might have been that the focus shifted 
to the cities and it became outdated and considered backwards.
