The day before Midsummer holds a great tradition in Karlskrona. The more than 100 year old tradition of the Leaf Market - a kind of festival with stalls, food and music! The Main Square and the surrounding streets are filled with people, coming to the city center to buy their traditional flowers, food and bric-a-brac.

Staged near the legendary 15th century Kronborg Castle, the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship Elsinore is a fusion of Danish culture and nature. The course takes advantage of the woodlands and green landscapes of Denmark as well as the stunning architecture in the city.

The Tall Ships fleet will return to the Baltic Sea in 2021. Turku has the honour of being one of the five host ports of the grand sailing event. The Tall Ships Races will be back in Turku for the sixth time, more than in any other port in the Baltic Sea Region. Turku has succeeded excellently in organizing the event previously in 1996, 2003, 2009, 2011 and 2017. Every time the event has attracted around half a million visitors and been the largest annual event for the public in Finland. The event will start on June 27 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, from where the ships will sail to Turku. From Turku the ships continue to Tallinn, Estonia, and onwards to Mariehamn, Finland. The final sailing destination is Szczecin, Poland, where the race finishes on August 3. The sailing between Turku and Tallinn is Cruise-in-Company, which is not a competitive leg.

Aarhus Jazz Festival will raise the curtain on a varied offering of jazz bands big and small and orchestras playing all genres of jazz.
