Kulturhavn Festival 25-27 August 2017

The Copenhagen Cultural Harbour Festival (Kulturhavn Festival 2017) has arrived this weekend from Friday to Sunday 25-27 August 2017. It is fun-packed with 250 free activities for adults and kids alike from art and craft, swimming & sailing activities, all kinds of dance activities, drama, Chinese martial arts, music, etc. etc. It is taking place at different locations all over Copenhagen.

Do note that although most activities do not require sign up, some of the activities such as sailing required pre-sign up, although they are free.

You can see a full list of the program and its corresponding location in English here:

For die-hard freebies seekers like me, this is a festival not to be missed. Unfortunately, it coincided with our kitchen renovation week!!! Aaawww....

Nevertheless, I have made a smaller list of children's activities for our Little FECS (including the map of the location for my easy reference), although I don't think we would be to go for everything in this list, but will pick and choose based on what we feel like doing on the actual day:
