Visit a fire station
May 21, 10:00-12:00; Frederiksberg Fire Station, Howitzvej 26, Frederiksberg; free adm; brand.kk.dk

During the months of April and May, most fire stations around the country will have an open house so children and their parents can experience a day in the life of a fireman.

At the end of May it will be Frederiksberg Fire Station’s turn to open up its doors to the public.

So whether you want to slide fearlessly down a pole like Fireman Sam, watch how they put out some roaring flames or feel what it is like to sit in a real fire truck, this will be a day to remember.

And who knows, maybe a real fire in the area might generate extra excitement. (NØ)

Full Moon Party

May 21-22; Redfshalevej 325, Cph K; 150kr, billetto.dk

This is one for ravers still nostalgic for the heady days of all-nighters on a Thai beach. The setting here is downtown Copenhagen, but the robotic rhythms, glowsticks and flamboyant party people should provide a flashback or two. (PS)

Copenhagen Marathon
