The River Rafting is an annual event organized by the Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students, UTN. The Rafting takes place on the Fyris River on the last day of April as it has done since the first organized version of the event in 1975. The main rafting event is preceded by the weeklong “River Festival”. == The River Rafting ==
The River Rafting takes place on the Fyris River on 30 April every year, which is known as “Valborg” in Sweden or Walpurgis Night. More than 350 participants go rafting along the river, from the Haglund bridge to the Islandsfall, in their home-built polystyrene rafts. About one hundred rafts usually participate and more than 30,000 spectators come to watch. After all the rafts have run the course, a number of prizes are handed out by the principal of the university, the Rector Magnificus. The period to apply is in March, and everyone over the age of 18 may participate. The application is done group-wise, and each raft may hold 2-4 people. A few of the rafts represent different organizations but the vast majority of the participants are students at University of Uppsala. Students from other universities also come to Uppsala to participate.
