Helsinki Baltic Herring Fair

Mayor Jussi Pajunen will open the traditional Herring market in the Market Square on October 4 at 11.

The Herring market in October is the oldest traditional event in Helsinki, dating back to 1743. The fishermen working on the Baltic Sea will once again bring their salted herring to the Market Square, as well as a delicious selection of herring marinades from rowan berries to red pepper. In the market tents and the fishermen’s village you can also find delicious dark bread in the archipelago style, clothes made from the wool of island sheep, and other handicrafts - not to forget the tasty market food!

There is also a lot of program, music and fun in the program tent near the Havis Amanda statue.

Helsinki Baltic Herring Fair 4.–10.10.
Sun-Fri 7–19, Sat 7–15
