One of Chalmers biggest events is Chalmers Cortège. This year we are also celebrating that we are one of the oldest with a 110-year jubilee. The Cortège is a ten-day student festival, where you can meet and socialize with a thousand other students from different programs at Chalmers. During the day, your group of friends, your construction team, can spend the days on the constructions sight. There you will build a float as a sort of scene for a sketch you will play out about some big news that happened last year, which your group has chosen. On the construction site there will also be games played, mingle opportunities, and help and material given by CCC who are arranging everything. In the evenings, the Beer-tent is open. There you can sit outside with a cold one in your hand while you wait for the later part of the evening when the tent offers different live bands and DJs every night. If you want to make a day of the Cortège-week even longer, you can head over to Gasquen, which is open every night and the entry is free for all builders. At Gasquen this week, the different programs are competing the Chalmers championships in Gasque to see who can host the best party evening. Therefore, the decorations and party level are for winners. The finale is the 30th of April, when the parade of all the constructed floats drive through Gothenburg and show everyone in the city that spring has now arrived because Chalmers Cortège is here. Around 250 000 people watch the parade every year.
So gather up some friends and register now at bygg.cortegen.se. That way you will be a part of this 110-year tradition at Chalmers and in Gothenburg. A tradition made for the sole purpose of community and fun. The Cortège takes off 30th of April 18:15. Do not miss out. This year the event is during the re-examination period, which means you won’t miss any classes at all.
