Join "Assens for fulde Sejl" 2025
Maritime and historical atmosphere at full speed in Assens! Once again this year, Assens will be visited by the regatta "Fyn Rundt for Bevaringsværdige Skibe" – the classic sailing race around Funen for historical ships.
The town center transforms into a historical market. The harbor and town fill with stalls, music, dancing, performances, and other activities with a maritime and historical vibe. We’ve put together an exciting program with experiences for the whole family.
Highlights from the program
