Join us for an Authentic Finnish Student Experience!
Welcome to the traditional Finnish student party, Sitsit! But what exactly is a Sitsit?
A Sitsfest (also called sitsit, sitning, or sitsparty) is a cherished Nordic academic tradition—a night of food, drinks, and lively songs, celebrating the joys of life. This unique event blends fun and etiquette, making it a cornerstone of Finnish student culture.
At a Sitsfest, you’ll enjoy delicious food, drinks, and sing along to traditional songs! The event follows a set of playful rules led by toastmasters, who guide the evening and enforce fun “punishments” for those who stray from the etiquette. There will be a random seating plan and use of phones is limited to reading the song book so that guests can focus on socializing with their table companions.
Each Sitsit has a theme, and this time, it’s Welcome to Finland! Dress code is "northern lights", so there's room for creativity!
