Marknader, musikevent och många roliga evenemang – sommaren är visserligen de heta evenemangens tid på Åland, men det händer mycket roligt även andra årstider.
Åland all year round
The tar market in April is a classic sign of spring in the Sjökvarteret neighbourhood of Mariehamn, where people gather to enjoy crafts, Åland delicacies and a maritime atmosphere.
Summer brings festivals, markets and late nights by the sea - perfect for al fresco dining and warm memories.
In September, the Harvest Festival celebrates autumn with local food, music and market activities.
As winter arrives, the Christmas streets light up and the Christmas markets spread the atmosphere with crafts, treats and maybe a meeting with Father Christmas.
Below are some of the upcoming events that make Åland come alive all year round.
