It’s Friday, and that means it’s weekend! Here’s my weekly roundup of things to do in Copenhagen this weekend – hope you have a great one!
Swedish Midsommar
What – This is slightly short-notice, I realize – sorry! – but if you have nothing planned for tonight, get on a train as fast as you can and head over to Malmö to experience one of the most important Swedish holidays: midsommar, the longest day of the year. It’s a whole-day celebration, but there will be parties going on all night!
Why – If you can’t make it, at least look at these beautiful pictures from It’s Raining Flamingos and Foxes to get an impression. And put it on the list for next year!
Where – Folkets Park, Malmö
When – 20th June, 10-20h
How much – free

Frederiksberg Festival
What – No summer weekend in Copenhagen is complete without a music festival! This one is in hip and cool Frederiksberg, and it offers concerts by Danish grandes like Shaka Loveless and Pharphar, and has a day program as well.
Why – Not only will you get concerts, but also a multitude of other events, like parkour shows, street art jams, and a basketball tournament!
Where – Stjernen på Kong Georgs Vej, Frederiksberg
When – 20th-22nd June, 14-20h

FINDERSKEEPERS Pop-Up Shop Party
What – Finderskeepers is a trade fair for interior design and clothes, both new and high-quality vintage. They are opening a pop-up shop in the very stylish Avenue Boutique Hotel, and the big opening is on Saturday with 25 hand-picked artists and designers.
Why – If you can’t wait until the next fair in September, head over there for a lovely shopping experience, including signature drinks and a DJ in the hotel’s lovely outside lounge area.
Where – Avenue Hotel

Why – Who couldn’t use a little more exercise, and this seems like the perfect way to do it!
Where – Refshaleøen
When – 20th-22nd June

Sankt Hans aften at Nyhavn

What – Okay, this is cheating a bit because technically, St. Hans is not on the weekend – it’s Monday night! But still, you should head over there for the bonfire and live entertainment!
Why – Beautiful and classic Nyhavn is an amazing backdrop for the bonfire and festivities. Bring a bottle of chilled white wine and enjoy!
Where – Nyhavn
When – 23rd June, start ca. 14h, fire is lit at 22h
