St Mary's Day has been an important event for the Sámi since the 16th century. The event brings together spectators and performers across the North. The festival includes a handicraft market, various cultural performances and a lassoing competition. The event is organised by the local Sámi organisation, Johhti Sápmelaččat.
A unique combination of music and Northern nature, Hetta Music Days brings wonderful culture and events to Enontekiö and the Arctic. The performances are always very intimate, no matter if the venue is a wilderness hut or church. Taking place during Easter, the festival is the northernmost event for classical and church music in the EU. Concerts also enliven the region throughout the year.
Organised since 1978, the half and full-length races at Lapponia Ski Week are a real challenge for cross-country skiers of all levels in stunning Fell Lapland. The main events are the races from Hetta and Yli-Kyrö to Olos via Pallas.
Ice fishing is a popular pastime in Enontekiö. The Ice Fishing Week, held in late April, came about when several villages combined their ice fishing competitions. The event is held by various organisations, from village associations to hunting clubs.
Having an ice fishing competition in May is no problem on Lake Kilpisjärvi, as the ice holds until June. Ice fishing is very popular in Enontekiö, but this famously fun event draws crowds from far and wide.

The event includes fell orienteering, mountain running and the actual ski race, which is held 78. time this year. A bonfire is naturally part of the program.
