Events and experiences sorted by geography
The size of North Zealand is not bigger than you can easily reach all the events and experiences you find interesting. Yet, it is rather nice to know what is happening in the area where you are staying. Find your town here.
Find everything from big urban festivals to small intimate concerts in Hillerød. Take a castle tour, see a magnificent show in Royal Stage or go sailing at the castle lake.
Hundested is especially famed for its Sand Sculpture Festival, but TimeWinder, the harbour festival and Hundested By Night are also well worth a visit. The creative environment at the harbour offers you amazing experiences all year round.
The Græsted Vintage Rally (Græsted Veterantræf) is brimming with nostalgia, while Munkeruphus offers cutting-edge art and design. Discover the indoor and outdoor sculptures at Rudolph Tegner’s Museum and Statue Park or meet the locals at Kulturhavn Gilleleje.
Hop on board the M/S Frederikke and sail on Denmark’s largest lake, Arresø, or fly kites in Liseleje. That’s if you’re not headed to a concert in Gjethuset or visiting Krudtværket (the Gunpowder Museum)
The Musik i Lejet Festival is a new major summer event, and the traditional Kildemarked market draws visitors with its enticing array of arts and crafts. Find treasures every Saturday throughout the summer at the flea market on Birkepladsen.
See major international exhibitions in Louisiana if you are into art, design and architecture, and get a demonstration of ancient hunting methods at Falkonergården. Fredensborg Castle invites inside throughout July.
