Celebrating Yhyakh 2026 with the Sakha Community

Oasis Foundation was honored to join the Sakha community in celebrating Yhyakh 2026 at 15430 E. Lake Goodwin Road, Stanwood, WA 98292.

Yhyakh is a traditional Sakha summer festival that celebrates renewal, gratitude, nature, and community. This meaningful gathering brought together around 150–200 people for a beautiful day filled with traditional food, cultural connection, and fun activities for youth, women, and families.

Events like this remind us how powerful culture can be in bringing people together, preserving heritage, and building stronger communities.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who made this celebration so special.

Today, around 250 Turkmens in Seattle came together to celebrate Gurban Bayram at Lake Sammamish State Park. It was a beautiful day filled with joy, laughter, and community spirit.

Children enjoyed games and activities throughout the day, while adults had the opportunity to meet, reconnect, and spend quality time together. Families shared food, conversations, and unforgettable memories in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Events like this remind us of the importance of keeping our culture, traditions, and community strong, even far from home.

Thank you to everyone who joined and made this celebration special. Gurban Bayramyňyz gutly bolsun! 🤍
