Welcome to a Raahe's Long Table Dinner at Härkätori Square in Raahe! This food event takes place during the Night of Arts in Raahe on Friday, August 15, 2025, from 5 PM to 9 PM. Come and enjoy great company and food from local producers – or bring your own picnic!

On this page, you'll find information for event attendees and food vendors.

Raahe's Long Table Dinner brings people together to enjoy local flavors, performing arts, and good company on a warm August evening. The event invites everyone to gather around a long communal table to savor the northern tastes – whether you're sampling dishes from local food vendors or enjoying your own picnic basket.

The event was first held in Oulu in 2024, and now it’s Raahe’s turn to host Long Table Dinner! The event concept is part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture program and the main event of Arctic Food Lab.

Join us at the long table!

Time: Friday, August 15, 2025, from 5 PM to 9 PM
Place: Härkätori Square, Laivurinkatu, 92100 Raahe
