Events in Denmark to plan for

Denmark’s cultural fabric is studded with a number of traditions and events worth attending. Festivals are one of the few memorable activities that will be undertaken. Visitations include many other celebrations devoted to Danish history, some royal customs and national holidays. Other illustrated activities include performances of classical music, plays as well as local handicrafts.

Denmark is also a country where everybody goes outdoors, goes jogging, takes part in marathons, cycles, and enjoys street festivals. One of the most famous holidays is Midsummer’s Eve or Sankt Hans on the eve of which huge bonfires are lit and songs are sung.

Saint Lucia Day

Saint Lucia Day celebrated on December thirteen has a great significance in the history of Denmark culture. This winter festival is what we celebrate in memory of the returning light in the darkest days of the year. Wearing white robes and holding candles, children take part in the procession to sing carols which are then used to warm the very cold winter nights.
