Helsinki Events

Baltic Herring Fair

Helsinki Baltic Herring Fair

Helsinki’s oldest traditional event is dedicated to the humble herring, Scandinavian staple, which has been sold and eaten at the end of the fishing season each year at a fishy fair in the city’s Market Square for about 200 years. Visitors are astounded at the number of different ways this delicacy is served up. Try it salted, pickled or marinated, on the spot or to take away.

Venue: Market Square; Date: 4 - 10 October 2009
