What> Up Helly Aa is a small local festival with a strong international following taking place in Shetland annually on the last Tuesday of January. Being one of Europe’s largest fire festivals, Up Helly Aa has a rich history having run almost every year since 1880. This event is an opportunity to party with some of Europe’s hardiest party-goers as the drinking, dancing and general merry-making go on through the night. Apart from these traditional music, especially fiddles, play a big role in the festival.
