BEASSÁŠMÁRKANAT
The Sámi Easter Festival is the most exciting and beautiful festival experience of the winter in the Sami village of Guovdageaidnu/Kautokeino.
We offer a wide program for children, young people and adults. Concerts, reindeer racing, exhibitions, performances, duodji market, theater, outdoor program, and of course the Sámi Grand Prix!
Easter is a holiday with long traditions in Sápmi. At Easter, the Sami gathered before moving to the coast with the reindeer. Weddings, christenings, confirmations, and reindeer racing usually took place at Easter.
Over time, the Easter celebration has grown, and we have a program that is suitable for families, young people and adults - both for Sami and others.
The program includes outdoor activities, market, duodji, photo and art exhibitions, theater, reindeer racing, scooter cross, fishing competitions, service of worship and of course Sámi Grand Prix and other fantastic concerts where you can experience both traditional yoik and modern Sami music!
