The autumn harvest fair in Volodymyr gathers farmers, beekeepers, and artisans every October in Slovianskyi Park. They trade for one day, from early morning until noon. In 2026, 120 sellers registered for the fair, and one hundred came — from Volyn, Rivne, Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Kyiv regions.
The fair is designed so that producers can sell a large volume of goods in one day without paying rent for their trading spot. The first buyers arrive as early as half past seven, when sellers are just setting up their goods. The park area is divided into several trading zones.
