Apple Day 2026

26.09.2026 kl. 11.00—17.00

Harvest celebration at Söderlångvik Manor

We celebrate the Finnish apple and the harvest time every year on the last Saturday of September. The event is on its 21st year in 2026 and has grown to be one of the most popular events on Kimitoön. The 2025 event had over 5000 visitors that enjoyed the market and versatile program during the day.

Harvest Market

Söderlångvik Manor will be festively decorated with apples for the occasion. The Apple market offers tastings, self-picking, and sales of juice, apples, and the Manor’s delicious apple products. At the harvest market, you’ll find local harvest produce, artisanal foods, company presentations, and handicrafts. A lively market atmosphere is guaranteed as the market spreads from the manor grounds all the way down to the shore.

Would you also like to sell your products at the market? Read more here.
