Thousands gather to witness the breathtaking sight of a longship ablaze, illuminating the night sky.
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 -
How to Celebrate January 26th? 🚢🌏🍛🥩🐊🤠
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."
