Mid-September Events: Every dog has his day

Dog’s day at Tivoli
Sep 11; Tivoli; over-8s: 99kr, under-8s: free adm, multiride wristband: 209kr; tivoli.dk
Treat the kids to a Tivoli they will barely recognise on September 11 (exactly two weeks before it closes down until October 14).

Every dog has its day, and Tivoli will quite literally have gone to the dogs.

Unsuspecting guests may feel they are barking up the wrong tree as hundreds of man’s best friends have the chance to go walkies in Tivoli.

Together with the Danish Kennel Club, Tivoli opens its dog doors for owners to meet other like-minded souls, chat about their breeds and take in the pedigree parade.

This year’s Dog’s Day includes shows at 11:00, 14:30 and 15:00. (PS)
