Helsinki Market Square will once again be buzzing with fishers, Baltic herring and seasonal delicacies, as we celebrate the week-long Helsinki Baltic Herring Marketon 7–13 October.
This year, 30 fishers will be participating by selling their products fresh from their fishing vessels and sales huts . The Market Week is full of free public events for the entire family, food and islander culture as well as the unique atmosphere and traditions of seaside Helsinki.
Helsinki Baltic Herring Market(Link to another website.) (Opens New Window) is one of the oldest traditional events in Finland, and it would be nothing without the dozens of fishers who participate. They arrive at the Market Square from seaside towns and Åland – carrying a cargo of thousands of kilos of Baltic herring. The traditional seasoned herrings and the colourful array of seasonal delicacies from juices to delightful jams and succulent islander bread will make your mouth water.
