REGIONAL CULTURAL FESTIVAL
Matarengi marknad
Övertorneå, Sweden
Each summer, the Tornedalen town of Övertorneå hosts the Matarengi Market, run by the local sports club. Launched in 1979, it has grown into one of the region's largest family festivals, in a celebration of community and summer in the far north of Sweden along the Finnish border.
The market takes place in Matarengi, in the Övertorneå municipality, and reflects rural Tornedalian culture. It was revived in 1979 after a long pause and has become a modern continuation of the traditional midsummer gatherings and regional trading fairs, blending Finnish and Sámi influences in activities.
Attendees enjoy communal dancing and live shows under the midnight sun.
