Savo-Karjala Excursion is one of the most famous and popular May Day celebration traditions of the Student Union (ISYY). The first Savo-Karjala Excursion was organised in 1990 and the Excursion in 2019 was the 30th event. After these past two years in virtual mode, we are finally able to organise the Excursion as a live event on 29 April!
During the Savo-Karjala Excursion, students circle around Eastern Finland (North Savo and North Karelia regions) on buses on a predetermined route, which will remain a secret until the buses start their journey, and enjoy refreshments in different bars and restaurants along the way. The buses will stop at different locations giving students a chance to enjoy some refreshments and at one location food (the refreshments/food are not included in the price of the tour). The stops during the Excursion last around 30-40 minutes each and there is one longer stop in the middle of the trip so that participants can eat. (Vegetarian food is available at the location.) The whole event lasts for approximately nine (9) hours after which there is an official afterparty. The price of the ticket includes the official overall badge of the event, and the bus trip.
Ticket sale starts on Tuesday 12 April at 8 am. A ticket costs 17 € and they can be bought from the ISYY office (Yliopistokatu 7, 80100 Joensuu). There is a limit of two tickets per person so you can register yourself and one friend. You need to inform your (and your friend’s) name, phone number and e-mail address as you register. The registration is binding.
