Finanssi ry, the student organisation of the Oulu Business School, is one of the most active organisers of student events at the University of Oulu. Öllövelli, the largest pub crawl–style student event in Northern Finland, will bring together 6,000 students from across the country to Oulu this year.

Finanssi ry promotes a sense of community within the Oulu higher education community by actively organising events that are open to students from all faculties of the University of Oulu as well as from the Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The events provide a welcome balance to studying and offer an opportunity to spend time with one’s community.

The multidisciplinary pub crawl event Öllövelli traditionally kicks off students’ May Day celebrations in April. The event will now be held for the eighth time, and the number of participants has grown year by year. Next year, the event will celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Öllövelli will take place in Oulu on Thursday, 9 April 2026, in the city centre, at Oulun Energia Arena, and at the nightlife venue Ilona. Performing artists include Robin, Nelli Matula, and Jaakko Kulta.
