Jutajaiset is a festival of Lappish youth societies. First festivals were celebrated 1972-1994 in Sodankylä. Then festival moved to Rovaniemi, where it has been arranged since 1995. During all these years festival has brought together cultural resources from all over Lapland. Jutajaiset main idea has been the same through years: to forward traditions and to create new culture. Festival is furthermore a many-sided forum for both northern and international arts and culture.

Lappish Youth societies and Jutajaiset are supported by the Lappish Youth Association, which will celebrate its 100^th anniversary during this summer festival. Themes of festival are dealing with Lappish villages and their cultural and economic resources. Community Art events will present new perspectives of art for participants and audience. Jutajaiset is like always a charming and colourful meeting point for local and international music and dance. All these things together bring about so famous Jutajaiset atmosphere, where people do enjoy themselves.

Let´s enjoy Jutajaiset together with the Midsummer Night Sun of the North.
