Independence Day Torch Procession
Welcome to Independence Day's traditional torchlight procession and wreath-laying on Tuesday 6 December!
We warmly welcome you to this winter event. We especially wish that organisations with their flags could participate, because Independence Day's torchlight is a great opportunity to show your flags and gain visibility. The event repeats last year's pattern. The students of Student Union, ÅAS and TUO all gather at the Cathedral Square, where we leave in one procession towards the cemetery. The event ends after the busses back to the Studend House A (via Lemminkäisenkatu) leave from the cemetery at 17.30. One off the busses goes straight to Kåren.

15:15 Glögi at the Cathedral Square (Tuomiokirkontori)
15.45 Organisation of the procession

Organisations who wish to participate, must bring the following to the parade: the official flag of the organisation, one flag-bearer and two heralds (person who helps the flag-bearer). Participants must come to the event early so the parade can start on time.
