A local spring festival in late May at Orjaku harbor (Hiiumaa) celebrating sustainable fishing and sea culture. The name means "wind fish," symbolizing the connection between men, sea and sails. Festivities include catching a symbolic fish from the air and community feasting.
Reflects the ancient chant-like folk song "Tuulekala" performed year-round in Hiiumaa’s fishing communities. The festival integrates this spiritual song with modern community activities to honor the island’s seafaring heritage.
