Initiative Dinner

After Day 1, we will kick off the evening program with dinner, offering everyone the opportunity to deepen connections within the A’Pelagist Community.

The evening program is open to all who have purchased a Day 1 Archipelago Dinner ticket, including dinner, one complimentary drink and live archipelago music by three bands.

Location

We’re delighted to host our dinner at the atmospheric Westin Hall, a space rich with maritime history. Once the carving room of Åbo Båtvarf, this hall witnessed the creation of over 5,000 boat designs. With its original rustic walls, wooden floors, and large windows that frame views of the sea, Westin Hall captures the spirit of an old boatyard. The hall is named in honor of Zaké Westin, the chief designer behind the shipyard’s sculpture workshop.

Join us here for an evening of connection, coastal inspiration, and culinary delight.
