Kære venner af Københavns Karneval! Karnevalsbestyrelsen planlægger Københavns Sommer Karneval og samarbejder med grupper, der danser og spiller samba, samt sydamerikanske grupper og få andre grupper.

Sommeren er lige om hjørnet, og den danske karnevalssæson er i fuld gang!

Traditionen tro inviterer Københavns Karneval til et fantastisk karneval i indre by. I år er der en spændende ændring: Karnevallet finder sted den 2. weekend i juni i stedet for i pinsen, men frygt ej – det bliver mindst lige så festligt som altid! 1) Dagens festligheder skydes i gang med vores flotte parade, der bevæger sig fra Kongens Nytorv, ned gennem Strøget og slutter ved Nytorv. Paraden begynder kl. 11 og er et farverigt og livligt syn, som I ikke må gå glip af! Efter paraden går vi videre til vores store scene på Nytorv. Her kan I opleve musik og danseoptræden fra Københavns Karnevals medlemmer, samt internationale artister, der har rejst langvejs fra for at deltage i festlighederne. Og når dagen går på hæld, er der stadig mere fest i vente! Afterpartyet finder sted på Next House Copenhagen, hvor I kan danse natten væk og fejre karnevallets magi.

Københavns traditionsrige karneval for verdensmusik og -dans med parader, fester og shows for alle!

Vi glæder os til at se en masse fest- og karnevalsglade mennesker!

Dear friends of Copenhagen Carnival!

Summer is just around the corner, and the Danish carnival season is on!

As tradition dictates, Copenhagen Carnival invites you to a fantastic celebration in the heart of the city. This year brings an exciting change: The carnival will take place on the second weekend of June instead of during Pentecost, but fear not – it will be just as festive as ever!The day’s festivities kick off with our colorful parade, which winds its way from Kongens Nytorv, down Strøget, and ends at Nytorv. The parade starts at 11 a.m. and promises to be a vibrant and lively spectacle that you won’t want to miss!

After the parade, we move on to our grand stage at Nytorv. Here, you can enjoy music and dance performances by Copenhagen Carnival members as well as international artists who have traveled from afar to participate in the festivities. And as the day turns into night, there’s still more celebration to come! The afterparty will be held at Next House Copenhagen, where you can dance the night away and revel in the magic of the carnival.

We look forward to seeing a crowd of joyful and carnival-loving people!
