Academic Wappu or Wappu week is the most important week for students.
The main day Wappu-day (also known as May Day or Labor Day) is
celebrated at 1.5. It is Finnish version of Labor Day. The day before
(30.4.) is a day when people party hard! It is the biggest student
festival and also marks the end of the academic year.
The whole week
before the main day is filled with different student events. Most of
the students like to participate as many events as they can! The
events vary in every student town but the main thing is that there is
as many events as there possibly can. And as the Finnish students always say
“Wabu ei lobu!” (“Wappu never ends!”)
Here you can see
what kind of events will be organized in Pori!
