Copenhagen’s unique Nørrebro neighbourhood will celebrate its annual culture festival in rare form this spring.

The notoriously vibrant area will transform into one of the city’s largest celebrations of the year with music, food and entertainment to boot.

The program for the weekend-long party isn’t released yet, but is sure to boast a line-up of events that celebrate the quirky personality of the neighbourhood. Families and party-goers alike will find an activity to suit any agenda.

Over a period of 48 hours, experience the best of Copenhagen by visiting the festival as either a guest or a volunteer. (SB)
