A celebration made for the Northwest.

This two-day celebration invites guests to step into the steam and experience the magic of sauna culture through sauna sessions, cold plunges, live music, and Nordic-inspired food and drinks.
Whether you’re brand-new to the tradition or a seasoned sauna lover, this festival is your invitation to relax, renew, and celebrate sauna culture—Seattle style.

A gathering of unique saunas from across the region. Try them all—each with its own design, heat style, and personality, perfect for warming up on a crisp Northwest day.
LIVE MUSIC
Acoustic sets, DJ beats, and cultural performances create a vibrant atmosphere, even when the mist rolls in or the rain taps on the sauna roof.
COLD PLUNGE
Cool down the traditional way with invigorating ice baths and enjoy the rain or pray for snow.

Fuel your day with hearty soups, fresh baked goods, smoked fish, and craft beverages—comfort food made for cozy weather.
