Welcome to the official website for the South Mainland Up Helly Aa fire festival, which takes place
each year in 'da sooth end' of Shetland, on the second Friday of March. Up Helly Aa day involves a
series of marches and visitations, culminating in a torch-lit procession and the burning of a galley made
each year. This is followed by hours of performing and dancing in halls throughout 'da sooth end'.
