The Culinary Journey – Discover Artisanal Cuisine in Örebro County

Published June 12, 2025 / Updated May 12, 2026
On September 5–6, 2026, it’s Food Festival weekend. There are plenty of places to visit—and a golden opportunity to discover the county’s local ingredients, delicious flavors, and fantastic culinary craftsmanship.

During a lively late-summer weekend, Örebro County transforms into a vibrant marketplace celebrating local culinary delights. This is Matresan, an annual festival where fresh ingredients, small-scale artisanal food production, and a genuine passion for food and drink take center stage. Perfect for those who enjoy shopping locally and discovering new flavors and products. 

So pull up this year’s map and head out on a tour. Meet the county’s local food artisans and explore everything from freshly baked bread and homemade gelato to sourdough pizza, homegrown vegetables, freshly smoked fish, cast-iron-roasted coffee, juicy smashed burgers, and much more. The list of stops is long, and there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone.

During the Food Tour, you might end up at a farm, a restaurant, or some kind of pop-up event.

A growing community celebration

Matresan has grown into one of the most popular events in the Örebro region. Every year, more exhibitors join in, and interest just keeps growing. It’s a winning concept when local culinary heroes gather at various locations throughout the county to offer tastings, sales, and conversations about the craftsmanship behind their products. 

Behind every jar of jam, slice of cheese, and loaf of bread lies a story. Now you can hear the story straight from the creator. This isn’t just an event for your taste buds, but also for anyone who wants to shop mindfully, support local businesses, and learn more about sustainable food production.
