agree Timo Lehtilä : Yes, but 'rymyäjä' can refer to anybody, even child ('romper'), behaving boisterously and frolicly

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I actually used "party animal" in this sentence, but "reveler" is close. The other suggestions of "boisterous" and "mischievous" were also plausible and should be considered based on context. "

someone who rackets/revels

We even have a restaurant called Rymy-Eetu in Helsinki. It's a place where you can have fun.

boisterous type

rymy, and its derivitaves ryminä, rymytä, rymyjuhlat, jne. denote noisy and boisterous conduct, or it could be applied to an energetic animal, as in http://geocities.com/hopperskennel/barre.html referring to a dog "Oikea rymyäjä, jokaisessa kuralätäkössä on pompittava ja elämästä on otettava ilo irti Barren mielestä".

mischievous

Just a suggestion. I read the biography of Bon Scott (AC/DC) a while ago and he was frequently described as being mischievous. He was definitely a 'rymyäjä', there's no doubt about it :) Rymyäjä can also be used when talking about kids as stated above.
