The inaugural National Sauna Week was a terrific success! 

We appreciate the participation of our panelists, speakers, video contributors, FFN chapters that held their own programs, and everyone who attended our events.

Mark your calendar for the next Sauna Week, February 19-25, 2023.

In the meantime, enjoy the programs at the FFN YouTube channel, and check the website as we add new information and material throughout the year. 

Sauna is the most known Finnish word in the U.S., within and outside of the Finnish-American community.

While many people have experienced sauna at hotels, spas and gyms, in the time of COVID-19, home saunas have become popular additions.

Finlandia Foundation National, the leading source of support for Finnish culture in the U.S., has declared the last week in February “National Sauna Week” to build awareness and appreciation of this aspect of Finnish and Finnish-American culture.

We’ve developed a variety of online programs with experts on different aspects of sauna culture, and some FFN chapters are hosting events in their communities.  

Check out the National Sauna Week events page: Enter our Instagram contest and you could win a beautiful “Just Add Sauna” gift package. And to cap the inaugural Sauna Week, we offer the rare opportunity to view the acclaimed documentary Steam of Life. 

You’ll find sauna information and fun content at this website, our social media and YouTube channel.

Explore these pages and check back often, as we update and add to the content all year long.
