Ysyakh is the Yakut holiday of summer. The Yakut ysyakh is the most important holiday in Yakutia. It is a spring and summer festival in honor of the gods Ayyy and the rebirth of nature, accompanied by a ritual of prayers, abundant refreshments and koumiss drink, dances, folk games, horse races, competitions for strong and skillful guys.
Also, recently ysyakh has been held between June 10 and June 25, depending on the ulus, weekend schedule, local preferences, etc.
Elements of the Yakut holiday have similarities with the summer holidays of Turkic peoples: Tuvinians, Altaians, Tatars, Bashkirs, etc. The Yakuts have preserved the ancient tradition, characteristic for cattle breeding peoples, of dividing the year into two halves, and the ysyakh itself was a kind of boundary between the old and the new, the past and the future.
