Piloting boats and shipping are the main sources of income. Unlike the other islands in the archipelago, Brännö has never relied on fishing for its livelihood. Instead, the islanders have always cultivated the relatively fertile farmland that stretches along the eastern side. Brännö is also known for its strong connection to Swedish folk music—every Thursday evening in the summer, dance and music festivals take place at the quay in Husvik, the southernmost of the two piers served by ferries from Saltholmen.
