Äppelmarknaden is an annual harvest festival celebrating Swedish apples, fruit orchards, and local artisanal producers.
First held in 1988, the market has grown over the years into an iconic autumn tradition on Österlen. Today, it takes place at Svabesholms Kungsgård, right in the heart of one of Sweden’s foremost apple-growing regions.
During Äppelmarknaden, growers, producers, food artisans, and visitors gather to celebrate the bounty of the Swedish apple harvest. Visitors can enjoy a rich variety of apple cultivars, fresh cider, delicious food, drinks, family activities, and entertainment.
One of the festival’s most celebrated highlights is the famous apple artwork (äppeltavlan) – a grand visual masterpiece crafted from thousands of apples in different colors and varieties. With a unique motif unveiled every year, it has become the defining symbol of Äppelmarknaden.
Äppelmarknaden also serves as a vibrant meeting ground for the regional fruit-growing community and for anyone eager to learn more about apples, cultivation, and craft processing.
