Wow, this week went by fast! And it’s almost weekend again, so of course I have some tips for you – I hope you have a blast in Copenhagen!
Music festivals
What – I’ve written a big festival roundup and the first one, Copenhell, has already kicked off on Wednesday. Another festival I’ve mentioned, Trailerpark, hosts a pre-party called “Rebel Sound” at Papirøen this Friday.
Why – It’s right by Copenhagen Street Food, so why not grab a bite and enjoy some music in the sun?
Where – Papirøen (Trangravsvej 5, Hal 2)
When – 13th June, opens at 13h, music starts at 17h
How much – free!

Amager Beachvolley Weekend
What – Beach volleyball competition at Amager Strandpark. There’s both a tournament for routine and semi-professional players (Saturday, 14h) and a just-for-fun tournament that’s open for all on Sunday.
Why – Beach, sun, fun, hot people in bikinis/ shorts – plus you get a fun workout!
Where – Amager Strandpark
When – 14th and 15th June
How much – free to watch, DKK 50 for participating in the tournament

Color Run Copenhagen
What – A 5k run that couldn’t care less about what your time is! You’ll be starting out in white clothes, and make your way through four color zones with the goal to be as colorful as possible when you reach the finish line! You can sign up as a single runner or as a team (at least 4). There are still some tickets left, so be quick!
Why – how much more fun can a run get?!
Where – Valbyparken
When – 15th June,
How much – DKK 315 (single runner), DKK 299 (team runner)

Byhavefestival Nørrebro
What – City and rooftop gardens (“byhaver”) are gaining popularity (read about one in Nørrebro over at Dejlige Days), and this Saturday, a number of those “guerilla gardens”, back yards and rooftop gardens are opening up to the public. There’s food and drinks, events like yoga classes, and talks about city gardening and the like.
Why – because it’s so hipster it’s already cool again!
Where – different places in Nørrebro
When – 14th June
How much – free!

Watch the world cup on big screens!
What – All world cup matches (those before midnight Danish time), on a big screen, at “DR’s VM-studie” in Islands Brygge. This is where both DR1 and DR2 are airing their world cup magazine from, so you might even end up on TV! If you’d rather watch the games in a bar, AOK has a list here.
Why – because it’s always more fun to watch games with other people!
Where – Islands Brygge
When – whenever there’s a match
How much – free!
