St. Urho's Day as everyone knows is the day St. Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Finland. It is celebrated the day before St. Patrick's Day.
2006 celebrations and links from around the net (since I am starting to get Google hits on this one from a previous year) -
The Finnish American Reporter has a number of local listings for events.
Brownielocks and the 3 Bears have a reasonable retelling of the legend and a cheesy song.
Finnish Designs in Esko, MN has gifts, t-shirts, cards and buttons.
Blue Mountain Cards has a few animated electronic cards.
Michigan Tech (Houghton, MI) has an alumni social planned.
Butte, MT plans a celebration of some kind.
Palo, MN has an 11th Annual St. Urho's Day Brunch.
Menahga, MN has a "small town Finnish ethnic celebration", featuring a statue of the hero. (2005 review) (1998 picture)
Naselle, WA, home of this year's FinnFest, plans a Finn-Am Jam dance.
This deserves a Google map...
There's nothing listed special at St Urho's Pub in Finland, but I'll bet they can give you something to drink.
