Lentävä Lähtö 2026 - Autumn

Lentävä Lähtö is an interdisciplinary appro in Kuopio that launches the autumn semester 2026. The event takes place on Tuesday 8.9.2026 and begins with qualifying rounds, continues at official performance stations throughout the city centre, and culminates in official after-parties.

Performances

Stamps are collected in the appro pass from Lentävä Lähdö's official performance stations - one stamp per location corresponding to one drink or meal. Non-alcoholic drinks also earn a stamp, but water does not receive a stamp at all locations. Performance badges must be obtained in order, and the next level requires that the previous level is already on your haalarit.

Badge levels with stamp counts:
◦ Hill Driver (level 1): 8 stamps
◦ Go-kart Driver (level 2): 11 stamps
◦ Second Driver (level 3): 14 stamps
◦ First Driver (level 4): 16 stamps
◦ Track Master (level 5): 18 stamps

In addition to the appro pass, you can complete the Shottrally pass (3 €), which awards stamps only from shots - including non-alcoholic ones. The same drink cannot earn a stamp for both the appro pass and the Shottrally.

Everyone who has collected performance markings from all appro pass stamp locations is rewarded with an annual badge for complete rounds, which is the same for both spring and autumn versions of Lentävä Lähtö.
