Unique events
The biggest events in Kimitoön take place between June and November. Each has its own atmosphere and something special to offer. The biggest audience favourites are Apple day at Söderlångvik Manor, light art in darkest November and classic jazz in Dalsbruk in high summer.

The archipelago is a perfect place for gravel cyclists. The 130 km route of the event is hilly and varied, a paradise of small gravel roads through wilderness-like forests. The event also includes 40 and 85 km routes. The event is open to everyone.
