About this event
For a week the city's squares and courtyards are handed over to international street theatre companies — acrobats, puppeteers, clowns and outdoor music, staged in Husum, Nørrebro, Sydhavn, Valby and Ørestad rather than in a single festival site. Shows run short and repeat, so you can catch several in an afternoon. Programmed by the City of Copenhagen as part of Denmark's international street theatre festivals.
Why we picked it
A city-wide, all-ages performance festival that costs nothing and comes to your neighbourhood square rather than the other way round.
Free entry
The City of Copenhagen states the festival is 'gratis og for alle aldre' — free and for all ages. All performances are outdoors in public space.
Registration
None stated; walk-up. A few indoor culture-house shows may fill up, so arrive early.
A third-party event from official public listings, checked by Glentio. Programmes can change — confirm on the organiser's site.
