The story

Ysyakh Tuymaady in Yakutsk

Ysyakh Tuymaady fills the open field of Us Khatyn near Yakutsk with two days of ceremonial rites, horse racing, and the Dygyn Games, a national all-around competition carrying real local prestige. More than 100 events run across the celebration, moving between solemn ritual and festive competition as families and friends gather across the grounds.

By late June, the air outside Yakutsk feels wide and restless, and people stream into Us Khatyn as if the whole city has agreed to meet under the same enormous sky.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's scale is what sets it apart: more than 100 events spread across two days give Ysyakh Tuymaady the feel of a whole summer world rather than a single ceremony

02

The mystery stays covered

Traditional ceremonial rites open the celebration and set its tone, horse racing cuts through the festive mood with sudden bursts of speed and total crowd attention, and the Dygyn Games bring national all-around competition into the middle of everything, with genuine local prestige riding on the results

03

The city starts moving

Moving between ritual stillness and full-throttle competition across the same open ground gives the festival a rhythm that a single-focus event could not match
