Did you not receive an invitation to the President’s Independence Day Reception even though you think you would have certainly deserved one? Do not worry, as you can celebrate Finland’s independence in the great company while waiting for the invitation!

AYY’s Community Section Aava invites all AYY’s members to the traditional Shadow Independence Day Reception at Yläkertsi in KY Building on 6 Dec 2015! We provide a delicious three-course menu, incredible company and certainly more drinks than what is offered at the real Independence Day reception. If you don’t want to miss out the traditional reviewing of dresses, don’t worry, you don’t have to. In order to ensure a genuine Independence Day atmosphere, you can watch the Independence Day reception on the screen while having the dinner!

So take out your suit or cocktail dress and come to celebrate the 98-year-old Finland! The signup for the party can be found at http://www.shop.ayy.fi/. Be fast, as this party is at least as popular as the original!

Ps. It is easy to come to the event directly from the torchlight procession of university students 😉
