We also organise a picnic and otheo festnvities on April 31st with other student communities in Vaasa. More information will be published in March.

Freshers' events

The VYY tutor project organises freshers' events for a couple of weeks every autumn. These events help new students to get to know each other and their new home town. The events include a wide variety of activities so that everyone can find something to enjoy. The events include parties, sports events, casual hangouts and the traditional Practice Site. 

For more information on freshers' events, visit VYY's new student page. 

Boom City Appro

One of VYY's biggest events in the spring is Boom City Appro. It is a pub crawl event in the heart of Vaasa, attracting students from different fields and all over Finland. In the event students tour downtown restaurants  nd enjoy live music and other activities that change every year.

You can find more information about Boom City Appro on the events own Instagram account and on VYY's Kide.app as the event approaches.

Annual Ball

The annual ball is a fancy and traditional academic table party. Traditionally, VYY's annual ball is held in February. The annual ball coordinator is recruited to plan the party and the accompanying events, to find partners and to organise the event. There are many traditions associated with the celebrations, which you can read more about on the Traditions page.
