Maata Näkyvissä Festival

Maata Näkyvissä Festival (Land Ahoy) is the biggest Christian music event in the Nordic countries.

A memorial event was held a year later, in November 1985 in Pallivaha church in Turku with theme Maata Näkyvissä (Land Ahoy).

In 2009, the event attracted nationwide attention in Finland due to swine influenza (H1N1) epidemic which was feared to spread dramatically in the festival.

The topic was raised in Kotimaa magazine by physician Jane Marttila who was in charge of communicable diseases.
