Hailuoto is a young island. Its highest points rose from the sea barely a couple of thousand years ago. Land uplift, which is essentially related to the island's history, still continues, and in time, Hailuoto will catch up with the mainland.
Better Folk is not quite a young festival anymore. It was held for the first time ten years ago, but then there were only a handful of people in the audience. Over the years, Bättre Folk has grown almost big. This year, around three thousand visitors are expected for both main days, i.e. Friday and Saturday. That's quite a lot when less than a thousand people live permanently in Hailuoto.
