Vappu

Vappu (known as Saint Walpurga's or May Day in the English-speaking world) is the biggest student event of the academic year in Finland. Vappu is celebrated in a carnival-style manner in both Joensuu and Kuopio, often for several weeks at a time.

Each campus, club and organisation has their own traditional events during Vappu. Make sure to join in the celebrations at the end of April and the beginning of May!
