Vulcanalia on kaikille Oulun yliopiston opiskelijoille avoin ja ilmainen juhla, jonka perinteisiä esiintyjiä ovat yliopiston rehtori, teekkarikuoro TeeKu, ylioppilaskunnan kuoro Cassiopeia ja Teekkaritorvet.
Vulcanalia ei ole pelkkää iltailottelua, vaan päivällä järjestettävillä järjestömessuilla opiskelijoiden kilta- ja harrastustoiminta tulee tutuksi laidasta laitaan.
Vulcanalia on erinomainen tapa tehdä ylioppilaskunnan toiminta, henkilökunta ja eri kiltojen tunnusvärit tutuksi uusille (ja miksei jo urautuneemmillekin) opiskelijoille.

Fulvius was sent into Spain in his consulship with an army of nearly 30,000 men, but was very unsuccessful.
He was first' defeated by the enemy under the command of a native of Segida, called Carus, with a loss of 6000 men, on the day of the Vulcanalia, or the 23d of August; and the misfortune was looked upon as so severe, that no Roman general would afterwards fight on that day unless com­pelled.
Fulvius retrieved, however, to some extent, the disaster, by an attack of the Roman cavalry, who checked the conquerors in their pursuit, and slew Carus and a considerable number of his troops.
