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.
Programme of the Day
The day offers activities of all kinds. Music for the youngest to the oldest, cultural experiences, and flavours to enjoy. One of the highlights of the market for the youngest visitors, Arne Alligator, is back again.
The full programme will be published closer to the event.
A warm welcome!

During Apple Day on 26 September 2026, scientists from the Tvärminne Zoological Station (University of Helsinki) will be on site to talk about the condition of Söderlångvik Bay. The underwater environment in the bay has been mapped during the summer, and a measurement buoy in the bay will provide both researchers and the public with information about its status.
