The art festival PYHÄ SANA, held on 11–12 September 2026, celebrates language in its many forms, bringing together singer-songwriters, masters of the joik tradition, authors, poets, and other word artists – along with their audiences – for a unique encounter.

The outdoor stages of Aittakuru and Tajukangas, nestled by Pyhätunturi, provide an unforgettable setting for the performances as autumn colors slowly take over the landscape.
