A stevna (plural: stevnur) is a regional summer festival in the Faroe Islands, usually accompanied by or built around national rowing boat championships.
[1] The races and regattas are always held on Saturdays, except the Ólavsøka race in the capital of Tórshavn, which has a fixed date.
There are seven official rowing-related stevnur:[2] Other stevnur, which do not include rowing regattas, are held in various places, such as the Útoyggjastevna[8] for all the outpost islands, the Sandoyarstevna on Sandoy,[9] and boating festivals for modern boats in various places.
