Oulun SETA ry

Oulun SETA ry is the regional LGBTQ+ association for the Oulu area, active since 1986 as part of Finland's national Seta network. It is the backbone of local queer life in Finland's northern hub, running peer-support and social groups, youth work, education and community events. The association is based at its "Vino Vintti" space on the fourth floor of Pakkahuoneenkatu 12 in central Oulu, and hosts regular meetups there and at partner venues such as the Tellus space on the University of Oulu's Linnanmaa campus. For anyone visiting Oulu — where the dedicated commercial gay scene is small — Oulun SETA is the best first point of contact for what's happening locally.
