The Up-Helly-Aa Festival is Held on a Floating Date? ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿค˜

"Up-Helly-Aa is a vibrant fire festival celebrated in the Shetland Islands
Thousands gather to witness the breathtaking sight of a longship ablaze, illuminating the night sky.

Participants dressed as Vikings parade through the streets, adding an air of excitement.

The day pulses with energy, from the morning’s activities to the evening’s fiery climax.
It’s a spectacle that draws people together, blending ancient tradition with lively community spirit. The celebration’s high point, the burning of the galley, leaves a lasting impression on everyone who attends."

Up-Helly-Aa
Ironically, because the Up-Helly-Aa Festival is held on a floating date (last Tuesday in January), next year it will fall together with Australia Day, which makes my last post an amusing read, I think -
