Description was written before the event

Every September, Gråsten hosts a festival on the harbour to celebrate Denmark's national apple - the Gråsten apple.

In 2026, the festival takes place from 25 to 27 September.

About the venue: Gråsten Havn

Gråsten Havn is a small municipal marina with 15 berths, situated in Nybøl Nor by Flensburg Fjord. To reach it by water, boats must pass through the Egernsund drawbridge, which opens once an hour. The harbour front is lined with modern residential buildings, and basic facilities including toilets, showers and a slipway are covered by the harbour fee. Gråsten Castle, the royal family's summer residence, is within walking distance.
