Mikkeli Market Square

Mikkeli Market Square is where everyday life and local culture meet. Especially in summer, the square comes alive with market stalls, cafés and people – locals, cottage owners and visitors all sharing the same relaxed atmosphere.

Take a seat at a market café, enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the rhythm of the town unfold around you. Browse the stalls filled with fresh local produce, handmade goods and seasonal delicacies. This is the place to experience authentic Finnish market culture and connect with local people.

Don’t miss the simple pleasures: fresh strawberries that are often considered among the best in the world, and sweet green peas sold in their pods – a true Finnish favourite enjoyed straight from the bag.

Throughout the year, the market hosts regular events and seasonal highlights. Monthly markets take place on the first Saturday of each month (except March), while special events such as the famous March Market, Mikko Market in October and Christmas Market bring even more life and tradition to the square.

Located in the centre of Mikkeli, the market square is easy to reach on foot, by boat or by car, with parking conveniently located beneath the square.
