Discover the enchanting atmosphere of Fransk Forår, a vibrant market held in the picturesque old town of Præstø, a charming harbor town nestled on South Zealand near Møn Island. Every year in the Kristi Himmelfarts weekend, this delightful event transforms Præstø’s cobblestone streets and historic squares into a lively celebration filled with international flavors, artisanal crafts, and joyful music.

Running from May 14th to 17th, 2026, Fransk Forår opens Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00 and on Sunday until 16:00, making it an ideal family-friendly destination for a spring getaway. With over 150 booths featuring a blend of French delicacies and specialties from across Europe and beyond, visitors can savor everything from Italian gelato and Spanish street food to Dutch cheeses and Breton apple cider.

Art lovers will appreciate the dedicated Kunstnerstrædet on Adelgade, where local artists showcase their works in a creative and intimate setting. The market spreads from the central Torvet square through Grønnegade down to the harbor, creating a festive ambiance enhanced by live music that fills the streets with energy and warmth.

Parking is conveniently located on Rødeledvej or Nysøvej, about a short walk from the market area. For transport connections, Præstø is easily accessible by bus from the train stations in Næstved and Vordingborg, which themselves have regular train service from Copenhagen.

Whether you are seeking a cultural experience, culinary delights, or a fun day out with the family, Fransk Forår offers something special in the heart of South Zealand.
