This Destination Is Getting a Pop-up 'Sauna City' This Winter-Complete With Cold Plunges, Live Music, and Nordic Food
"Billed as the Pacific Northwest's first large-scale gathering dedicated to sauna culture, the festival will be held-fittingly-at the National Nordic Museum. The museum is Seattle's hub for Nordic history, art, and heritage, and honors the cultural traditions of the region's many Nordic immigrants for whom saunas are traditionally a ritual and a refuge ( Helsinki was home to the first airport runway sauna, after all)."
"The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on both Nov. 1 and Nov. 2. To attend, tickets must be purchased in advance for a timed session online. Tickets start at $65 for general admission, which includes a 60 minute session with full access to all the festival's saunas, cold plunges, and gathering spaces. VIP tickets are also available for $165, which come complete with a 90 minute session, plus a snack box, drink, and merchandise."
Seattle will host the first large-scale sauna festival Nov. 1–2 at the National Nordic Museum, creating a pop-up sauna city along the waterfront. The event features regional wood-fired saunas with varied designs and heating styles, plus ice baths for cold water immersion and campfires. Live music will include acoustic sets, DJs, and cultural performances while Nordic foods such as smoked fish, hearty soups, and baked goods are offered. The festival runs 9 a.m.–8 p.m. both days with timed-session tickets sold online. General admission starts at $65 for 60 minutes; VIP tickets are $165 for 90 minutes with extras. Attendees should bring swimwear, towels, a robe, flip-flops, water, and a lock.
