Jóansøka stævnet er en folkefest på Suduroy.[1]Festen afholdes normalt den sidste weekend i juni. I lige år i Vágur og ulige år i Tvøroyri i ulige år. Kaproningen afholdes altid lørdag eftermiddag.
Oprindeligt var Jóansøka ugen en ren sports- og kulturfestival, og selv i dag afholdes der en regatta for det færøske mesterskab i roning. Udover rokonkurrencen er der fodbold, cykling og løb. På den kulturelle side arrangeres forskellige udstillinger med kunsthåndværk, kunst og historiske artefakter. Dette suppleres af en kulturcafé. Som ved andre færøske folkefester er der altid færøsk kædedans om aftenen. [2]
Fredag, lørdag og søndag sejler færgen Smyril ekstra ture til Joansøku-stævnet.[3]
Historie
Første gang Jóansøka blev holdt på Suðuroy var i 1923. Det kan have været på grund af, at arbejdsgiverne ikke brød sig om, at en stor del af øens arbejdsstyrke tog til Tórshavn for at fejre Ólavsøka i flere dage. Året efter, i 1924, blev datoen for stævnet på Suðuroy ændret til slutningen af juni. Det er almindeligt, at de nyuddannede studenter fejrer deres dimission om fredagen i Jóansøka.

The festival is a sports and cultural event with various sports events, art exhibitions, dancing, concerts, etc. Normally there is also a procession just before the opening of the festival. This photo was taken at the Jóansøka 2012 procession in Vágur. The scouts from Vágur are leading the procession, and after them are sports people (children and adults) from the sport clubs of Vágur and neighbour villages: FC Suðuroy, VB Vágur and Vágs Kappróðrarfelag and Suðuroyar Kappróðrarfelag (football, handball and rowing clubs).

Faroese students wearing the national Faroese costume are gathered in Memorial Park in Vágur, Faroe Islands. Annika Olsen, who at that time was minister for Internal Affairs of the Faroe Islands, gave a speech. Behind them is the Memorial Lost at Sea, which was made in order to honour the people from the village who lost their lives at sea. Most of the men have been working at sea as fishermen, and the North Atlantic Ocean is often quite rough, so some of these men have lost their lives at sea.

Frændur is a Faroese band, one of the most popular bands for more than two decades. They started at young age in the 1980'ies to play music in their hometown Klaksvík, and their songs are still popular and many people in the Faroe Islands know many of the songs by heart. The three main musicians of Frændur are: Eyðun Nolsøe and his brother Rani Nolsøe and Steintór Rasmussen. All three of them write text and both Rani and Eydun compose melodies as well. There have been other musicians playing with them i.e. Hanus G. Johansen and Terji Rasmussen, but Eyðun, Rani and Steintór are the main figures of the band. This photo was taken from a distance of the stage while Frændur was performing at midnight at the Midsummer Festival, which in Faroese is called Jóansøkufestivalurin. It was held in Tvøroyri in Suðuroy on 27 June 2009. This festival had been held every second year over the past years. In the beginning it was every year. This concert was an aid concert, so the musicians played for free. The money from the concert was donated to the Saltsilo on Drelnes, which will be made into a cultural center with a concert hall.
