Planning your visit
Dress for the weather: Many of our festival event will be primarily outdoors, we ask our audience to dress accordingly.
The Great Northern Sauna Village Dress Code: Bring easy-to-slip-on/off sandals or flip-flops, a towel, a robe to wear to and from the saunas, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Bathing suits are required, and we recommend coming already dressed to maximize sauna time. Please note that Malcolm Yards requires shoes and either a robe or clothes to be worn indoors.
