19 th Century<br />
wedding festivities<br />
The annual country wedding tells all about the traditions of an Ålandic wedding<br />
celebration in the 19 th century. This from the bridal procession to the<br />
first dance, complete with the beer waiters toting full barrels and toasts to<br />
the happy couple. Dress up in 19 th century finery and join the procession<br />
from Jomala Church to Ulfsby Gård, or be there at Ulfsby to greet them on<br />
arrival. On the farm awaits a wedding market selling local crafts and Ålandic<br />
produce. Round off the day with a wedding dinner in ‘Stensalen’.<br />
bomarsund days<br />
– a glimpse of the past<br />
A visit to the market in Bomarsund takes you back in time to 19 th century<br />
Åland, a time when the area around Bomarsund’s fortress was<br />
Åland’s foremost multicultural centre. Here orthodox Greeks, Protestants,<br />
Catholics, Jews and Muslims all lived and worked together.<br />
Drama and music on the market square bring to life the story of the<br />
rise and fall of the fortress. Bomarsund Days include handicrafts,<br />
refreshments, guided walks, pony rides and other activities for young<br />
and old.<br />
