awesome autumn<br />
and harvest Festival<br />
In September Åland celebrates the bounty of the land with<br />
three days of Harvest Festival. The festivities begin with open<br />
house on Friday and Saturday when local farmers, craftsmen,<br />
restaurateurs and other inventive entrepreneurs open their<br />
doors to the public. Signs and storm lanterns make it easy to<br />
find your way. Let the tastes and scents of newly harvested<br />
and newly baked produce transport your senses. Music, entertainment<br />
and activities complete the scene. The celebrations<br />
conclude with a large farmers’ market. Combine the harvest<br />
festival with Friday evening’s Open by Night in Mariehamn.<br />
