It’s not like we ever need an excuse to go to Tivoli, but there’s none better than helping the themepark to celebrate its 173rd birthday!

Tivoli is accordingly holding a concert featuring musician guards from the Tambourkorpset, Fanevagten and Musikkorpset.

Of course, Tivoli is rarely shut for long. On September 24, its summer season is closing, but it will soon be open for Halloween from October 13 to November 5.

And then two weeks later, it will be opening its doors for its Christmas season – on November 18. (AD)
