Apple Day at the Perg Market

Apples are true all-rounders. They are rich in vitamin C, fiber (pectin), and secondary plant compounds. Regular consumption strengthens the immune system, stimulates digestion, and provides quickly available energy. Apples have been proven to promote heart health and keep you fit.

The Significance of Apple Day
Apple Day traditionally takes place on the second Friday in November. It was initiated by local fruit growers to highlight the importance of regional and seasonal products and to honor the apple as Austria's most important fruit.

Regional Variety
The best place to discover these regional treasures is the weekly market at the main square. On November 14, the offerings will be expanded by additional regional exhibitors. Stefanie and Martin Fröschl from Sankt Thomas am Blasenstein will bring fresh apples from their own cultivation, apple chips, apple sauce, apple brandy, and cider. Visitors to the market can taste delicious apple cider from Andreas Moser in Mitterkirchen.

Additionally, the market vendors will treat customers to apple pie and fresh apple bread. As a special thank you for shopping, every customer on Apple Day will receive a fresh apple as a direct vitamin greeting from the region.

Visit the Perg weekly market on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
