Labour Day
May 1, 12:00-18:00; Fælledparken, Cph Ø
May 1 this year falls on the same day as Great Prayer Day, so there are no excuses not to join the masses at the capital’s premier park on Friday May 1.
Traditionally a holiday for public workers in Denmark, the International Workers’ Day celebrations in Fælledparken are unmissable for many and a rite of passage for many young Danes.
Initially the scene of demonstrations for workers’ rights, it is now the symbolic backdrop for a series of speeches by the left-wing parties and unions in honour of the day.
Embrace the solidarity, enjoy the official entertainment provided and stay to enjoy the picnic and party atmosphere that follows.
