Up Helly Aa



This is fire festival in Shetland, Scotland that held every January annually or in the middle of winter to mark the end of the yule season. This is Up Helly Aa festival .





This is 'Guizer Jarl' and his squad prepare the festival since February. Interest to join Guizer Jarl? You need to be a part of member of festival for almost 15 years. But only a person will be a committee each year.





All over Shetland held this festival but currently available for ten locations which are  ScallowayLerwickNesting and Girlsta, UyeasoundNorthmavineBressayCullivoe, Norwick, the South Mainland and Delting.

Do you know this festival is also a kind of triumphant demonstration of the islander's skills and spirit. 




This festival is for just a day but need to plan it for 364 days with several thousands people to work together to come out with this festival annually.

The next day will be public holiday if they can achieve the target. So, i'll quit from this job.
