The Day of the Sea

The Day of the Sea takes place on Vesterø Harbour, 
where the quay is buzzing with activities, for both children and adults. 

Join the Day of the Sea, where we celebrate the ocean, the harbour and the fishing on the island. We do so with great food, fun activities, exciting storytelling, stalls with souvenirs and local art, and music.

The restaurants of the islands set up food stalls on the harbour, from where they sell several tasty fish-dishes. And you can purchase beer, wine, coffee and cake.

Here is an extract of some of the activities in 2024 - the final programme will be ready in May:
 

Henning demonstrates, how to make a "washer" for a sea weed roof, and maybe even a skipping rope! Astrid mans the popular stall with fish and shellfish, and she can tell you about many interesting things about the sea, all worth knowing.

Hop aboard a fishing cutter and listen to a fisherman's tale of life at sea, and about fishing nets. Læsø Fishing Industry talks about the langoustine fishing, and the Coastal rescue service from Østerby will also be present on the harbour. 

There will be presentations about diving and the strandings and shipswrecks around Læsø. A diver will show off his equipment and will make dives into the harbour.

Moreover, there will be plenty of activities and workshops for children. At Beddingen children kan make a crab-fishing pole, and together we will fish for crabs - adults are welcome to join too.
