PELMU Wappu Festival

Rok!!

What happens, when bands that have been training the whole winter in a windowless basement are unleashed on the number one stage in Otaniemi, in the sparkling crossfire of Teekkarispeksi’s stage lighting? A breathtakingly stunning show that you don’t want to miss! So gather your friends and come to PELMU’s Wappufestival in Smökki and let the badass bands of this village amaze you! The event also acts as the official after party for Teekkarijaosto’s Crazy John and is free of charge!

WHAT: PELMU’s Wappufestival
WHERE: Smökki
WHEN: 29.4 starting 9:00 PM
WHAT DOES IT COST: Absolutely nothing!
WHY: Rok!!

Crazy John!

Otaniemi’s night will be full of silly foolishness of Wappu as Crazy John takes place on the 29th April!

As freshmen teams have parted after the starting shot of Yöjäynä, it’s time to find out who is the craziest, funniest and the most creative group of friends in Otaniemi!

Gather 4-10 people for your team and go on an adventure around Otaniemi to carry out bustling checkpoints and to compete for the title of “the craziest group of students”.

The key elements to this competition are the Wappu atmosphere and lively spirit!

Collective Wappu Hangover

Believe it or not, there will be life after Wappu and after all the parties and events during Wappu, you might find yourself somewhat lonely and in the need of company. This will be easily fixed by joining the Guild of Architecture at our very own cabin in the woods, Maja. We will spend Saturday evening, 2nd May watching comedies there. In order to enjoy the event, make sure you sign up by 1st May here https://arkkitehtikilta.fi/?p=5591. The price for the event is 5 euros, which includes dinner, movie snacks and breakfast. The bus to Maja leaves from the long-distance bus terminal in Kamppi at 5 PM.
