Čakcageassi (autumn summer in Sami)
August-September. Marking of reindeer calves, harvesting berries and mushrooms, hunting small game and elk, fishing for flash in rivers and streams. Sea fishing for saithe in the fjords is good.
At St.George's Chapel in Neiden on the third weekend of August, the service is held by the Finnish Orthodox Church. Water wedding ceremony is an important part of the annual fair. According to tradition, Holy Trifon blessed the waters of the Neiden River. For the believers, the water is considered sacred, cleansing and healing.
