Festivals have always been an essential part of humans of all cultures and communities, these marked a friendly attitude among different individuals expressing their love and affection to the society .Our ancestors created the festivals keeping this fact in mind. But now a days festivals have turned superstitious and a means to show pompous behaviour and strength of wealth at least in some places. people are wasting lots of money in the name of festivals in temples and churches while God doesn't need such festivities.Had this money been spend to feed lots of poor children suffering poverty what an eternal deed would it have been . I hope most members here would agree to my view please share your opinions

here in the usa a festival is where you go listen to music, drink, use drugs, and passout...

So I'll pick you up at 9:00?

Festivals here are all about money , nothing is free here , this is Australia

it is really pity that festivals are drowned in wealth and fame and is necessary to save it

It's kind of mixed here in Copenhagen. Festivals for young people tend to be about making money, While festivals/events for the mature audience is more about the cultural experience.

1 event i keep coming back too every year is Copenhagen culture night which Certainly is not a profit maker for the city, you pay 20$ for a armband and get free access to everything (As long you're not buying anything from a regular store of course!!)



Copenhagen's annual Culture Night kicks off the autumn break in Copenhagen and offers children and adults hundreds of cultural events in just one night.

Experience Copenhagen in a different light and see places you will not normally get access to, when hundreds of museums, churches, exhibition halls, art galleries, humanitarian organisations, political and cultural institutions open their doors to their secret rooms, basements, towers, and cultural events on this one night only. Whether you wish to experience the supreme court, parliament or simply take a stroll in the streets - Culture Night is simply beautiful.

Culture Pass

Your ticket is the Culture Pass, which is a badge that gives you free access to all Culture Night events and free public transport on buses, trains and metro in the Capital Region.

You can buy the Culture Pass at most train stations, all 7-Eleven kiosks in the Copenhagen area, and in libraries and many cultural institutions.

The whole city is an integral part of Culture Night, and the range of cultural institutions and venues mirrors how versatile Copenhagen is. There are hundreds of events for all ages, so do not hesitate to bring the kids to Culture Night in Copenhagen.


This is my favourite event in Copenhagen but Sadly it's only for 1 night, If you're running really fast you'll get to experience about 5% of everything, If you don't get lost of course

Denmark is the most wonderful place in the world this is what I have known from my early childhood but I haven't yet visited the place but one day I will certainly visit the place ;such is my affection to the place

Thanks Rajukurup

i guess wer'e better off than a lot of other countries, But like every other country, Denmark and particularly Copenhagen has it's problems.

If you're going to visit Copenhagen sometime in the future, Make sure to visit other areas than just the inner city where everything looks like an H.C Andersen adventure and the crime rate is near 0% (Most tourists only get to visit that part) and comes home with a very one-sided look of our capital, Of course there's no crime when people living there can afford to pay rents from 2000-4000$ a month.

Take the bus to Nørrebro or the northwest region of the capital if you want to see what Copenhagen also looks like when you don't have a lot of money (I guess it's the same story in most capitals), 14 days ago we've had gangs shooting at each other and killing 2 innocent citizens.

But again Denmark must look like a paradise for many people, Everyone has money, And even if they don't work they'll stil get enough to make a living and even make a savings account, We shouldn't really complain, But we should also remember taking the fight to make sure it will stay this way.

You don't find any brochures about Nørrebro and Nothwest in our tourist information centers (That's for sure)

Most the people I have met from Denmark are really really really nice people.

One of the first people I met online from Denmark was a fellow that goes by the user name 'megamol'.
That was in the days of big spamming thru chat start ups.
He promoted what became a very popular but some what short lived free to earn program.
Seems like the name of it was something 'All.....' All something or other. I don't recall.
That was like 20 years ago. He was just a kid then and I hear from him from time to time.....he
got married and I think he has kids, etc. But he told me a whole lot about Denmark back then
and it was very interesting.

Well thanks.

we are such a nice bunch (It's good for the economy) , My opinion of Americans is that people are very open and helpful, While Danes are a bit more closed and reserved.

Once in a while we do attend this American/Danish reunion with my big brothers American/Danish wife on the 4 of july.

And Indians are so nice and polite

A Indian guy once found my lost smartphone and called my father to find out where i lived, Then he travelled to the other end of copenhagen to deliver it, I had to force a box of chocolate on him because he stubbornly refused getting anything for it

yes most Indians have such attitude and since it is a developing nation there are incidence contrary to it but very less; when fully developed India would be same as Denmark in all aspects this is what I wish Indians like the people of Denmark respects the rich heritage of other countries and give tourists a warm welcome
