Sepac - Traditional Markets

The Viking Market is one of the most popular summer markets arranged in Åland. The prehistoric Viking society Fibula started the market in 2000 in the village of Kvarnbo. On the site of the market, the society has constructed a permanent Viking village, which is home to artisans, minstrels, musicians, and Vikings during a three-day event every July.

The stamp is part of the Sepac stamp series, the 2023 theme of which is Traditional markets. The small postal operators in Europe who are members of the Sepac group decide on the common theme.
