2024 Archipelago Week 28
Page Title
A new level for tourism in Kristinehamn
The first-ever Archipelago Week took place in July 2024. Numerous activities were organized both on and around the water, catering to people of all ages and interests. The entire town of Kristinehamn got involved, showcasing many of its existing attractions during this week. This event was the brainchild of Petra Eriksson and Camilla Svensson, two well-known Kristinehamn residents close to Tallevika with a wide range of interests and skills.
28 activities, 6 days,
6 locations
Restaurants hosted themed days, and concerts alternated with various culinary events. The Kristinehamn Sailing Club (KKS) played a major role, organizing test sails, boatbuilding competitions, and several regattas featuring Optimist and OK dinghies as well as 32-foot catamarans.
Marinas were bustling with activity,featuring vintage cars, motorhomes, boats built in Kristinehamn, arts and crafts, dogs, and more. These attractions were interspersed with exhibition stands from local businesses, flea markets, sporting events, themed walks, picnics,archipelago weddings, and much more.
A significant focus was on sailing and the eight 32-foot racing catamarans that were assembled and could be admired at Gattets marina this summer. Information sessions and test sails were held for various groups in preparation for the final international Picasso Cup regatta. The weather cooperated, leading to incredibly exciting duels just outside the Picasso sculpture.
Archipelago Week was a huge success and will become a recurring event. More tourists from German-speaking countries visited Kristinehamn, and we hope that Tallevika has been helpful in both attracting them and helping them make the most of their visit.
We continue to document what we like and what we think foreign visitors may like
Tallevika was involved in several activities before, during and after the the Archipelago Week, and of course, there are videos documenting these spectacular events. Here are some of the videos from the summer of 2024
