Long the hub of Sweden’s fruit production and distribution, Kivik set up the Apple Market to pay homage to the fruit industry of the area and today it is a full-blown festival that combines creativity and productivity in one event. A free festival at the end of the country’s harvesting season, the Apple Market not only shows off the produce in all its various forms (pies, desserts, cider and more) but also brings a certain level of artistic expression to the proceedings with the ‘apple art’ showcasing great mosaics of colorful imagery from the humble fruit as well as events such as apple tasting and a visit to a cider brewery.
