Welcome to the Old Fair of Rovaniemi 15.-17.8.2025
This year, the event will once again take place at the Old Market Square, Friendship Park, and Sampo Square. See you at the Old Fair of Rovaniemi again in August 2025!
Below you’ll find snapshots capturing the atmosphere of the 2024 Rovaniemi Old-Time Market. Around 40,000 visitors attended the market over the course of three days. See you again in August 2025!
In 2024, warm and sunny weather favored the event throughout the weekend. A new single-day visitor record was set on Market Saturday. The theme of the market focused on supporting Ukrainian war evacuees and commemorating 80 years since the Lapland War.
Rovaniemi Old-Time Market warmly thanks all market visitors, stall vendors, partners, performers, and volunteers! Once again, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the many volunteers and performers—without whom this charity event would not be possible.
