What’s happening?

We are gathering around to celebrate the highlight of the year, Pörssi ry’s 58th annual ball on October 30th, 2026, in Restaurant 3 at Paviljonki.

The annual ball consists of a cocktail event, an evening party, an after party and a morning after breakfast, also known as Sillis. At the cocktail event, the invited guests present their greetings to the sitting board of Pörssi ry. The evening party mainly consists of speeches and greetings, singing, a three-course meal, and presentation of awards to the most commendable members of Pörssi ry. At the end of the evening party, we get into the ball atmosphere and indulge ourselves into dancing to a live band. We continue the evening until the wee hours of the morning at Ilokivi Venue, where there is a bus ride from the evening party. The next morning, we head out to the morning after breakfast, or Sillis, as it is familiarly known.

To whom?

The annual party and “Sillis” are aimed at students in the second year and older, as well as 2026 master’s freshmen. First-year students can, however, participate in the in the Annual Ball atmosphere of the annual celebration in the various events of the anniversary week, as well as through the Annual Ball staff, which is recruited in September.

Etiquette

The dressing follows the Annual Ball etiquette.

The Dress Etiquette

If the party outfit is a dress, it is a full-length evening dress with a festive material. A restrained/neat slit in the skirt is allowed. Covering the shoulders is not mandatory. The shoes are neat and their material is suitable for a party. A small strapless purse is allowed. Long hair must be done in a chignon.

The Suit Etiquette

The suit outfit is primarily a tailcoat and black patent leather or well-polished leather shoes. Another option for men is a dark suit that is black, dark gray, or dark blue. A white collared shirt is worn with the dark suit and the tie should be discreet. More festivity can be obtained by wearing a vest made of the same material as the suit.

The Academic Decorations and Honorary Badges

Academic decorations and honorary badges are worn in the Annual Ball. The student union sash of Pörssi ry needed for them can be bought during the dance and etiquette night on Wednesday 21 October 2026.

If you wear a suit, wear the sash attached inside their tailcoat, from the right shoulder down to the left side. When using a tailcoat, the sash is worn between the vest and the shirt. When using a dark suit, the sash runs over the tie and under the jacket. If you wear a dress, fold the sash into a rosette, which is attached to the left side of the chest by a safety pin.
