The highlight of the whole academic year, Vappu (May Day), will bring life to Joensuu by introducing a variety of events organised by ISYY, student associations and clubs.
Traditionally the students’ Vappu celebrations begin as early as in the middle of April and will culminate in the Vappu Eve and its traditions. Vappu Eve Traditions organised by the Student Union include the Vappu Parade that goes from the UEF campus through the city centre to the Ilosaari. Before the Parade, we’ll gather to watch the Capping of the Alkukivet Statue organised by Täky ry and during the Parade ISYY will perform the washing and capping of the Kanavatyttö Statue. The Parade ends at Ilosaari, where we will hear the speech of the Student Union and live music by the UEF Choir JOY and RytmiHäiriköt.
at 3 pm Capping of the Alkukivet (organiser: Täky ry)
at 3.30 Start of the Parade from Carelia to Ilosaari
from 4 pm to 6 pm Students' Vappu Event at Ilosaari
The day before the Vappu Eve, 29th April, ISYY is organising the famous Savo-Karjala Excursion that will be happening at the same time on both campuses. The event was sold out in both campus cities very soon after the ticket sale begun.
This year we have composed a list of the Student Vappu Events in both campuses to our event calendar. From the Student Vappu in Joensuu 2023 -page you’ll find information about the Vappu Events organised by ISYY, Student Associations and Clubs (link below).
We wish everyone a Vappu state of mind!
