Saimaa Harvest Festival 12.-13.9.2026<\/h1>\n

The Saimaa Harvest Festival was celebrated across the Savonlinna and Kitee regions on 12\u201313 September 2026. A warm thank you to everyone who joined us!<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, visitors enjoyed local flavours, discovered everyday life on local farms, met producers, learned something new and enjoyed a wide range of experiences. Once again, the Harvest Festival was made possible by the collaboration of local farms, producers, restaurants, villages and other local partners \u2013 and above all by everyone who came along and joined the celebrations.<\/p>\n

See you next year!<\/strong><\/p>\n
