Beautiful party

Skanderborg Festival, Denmark's Most Beautiful Festival, or beautiful party, dear child has many names! Smukfest is a music festival which is held in Bøgeskoven near Skanderborg. It is Denmark's 2nd largest festival, and you can experience a wealth of musicians here.

The festival lasts for 8 days and here are many options when it comes to accommodation, for example you can sleep in a Royal Beer Can, on a delicious pigsty or in a shoebox - but of course there is also the opportunity to bring your very own tent!

There are about 55,000 guests a day at the festival and about 16,000 helpers, which tells a little about the scope of this beautiful festival. All profits go to charity, non-profit and cultural activities, so you support a good cause when you buy your ticket to Smukfest!

Vorbasse Market

Vorbasse market is also referred to as "Denmark's Largest Family Tradition". The market has largely existed since 1730, and is a fantastic annual event with all the things we know from markets, namely shopkeepers, horses, small animals, amusement park and entertainment.

The market is visited by more than 250,000 guests every year, which testifies to its great popularity, so if you are into the really big flea market, then Vorbasse market might be just the thing for you!

Silkeborg Regatta

We have to go all the way back to 1899, to trace the start of the Silkeborg Regatta. For this event, Silkeborg will be decorated for parties and events, with colored lamps and torches. There will be a wealth of experiences set in motion so that the city can gather for a big folk festival, and there will be music scenes with exciting artists, wonderful food stalls and illuminated boats.

Water, light and fire are the focus of the Regatta. There will therefore also be a fantastic fireworks show!

Moesgaard Vikingetræf

If you are interested in the Viking Age, then Moesgaard Vikingetræf might be just the thing for you! People from both home and abroad gather here to commemorate the Viking Age, with role-playing games, the authentic Viking clothes and a wealth of activities that take you all the way back to the old days!

The Viking meeting takes place as a well-functioning Viking town with 600 warriors and family, 70 stalls and 65 horses and their riders, who for a week live as they did in the Viking Age, and it therefore does not come close to an authentic Viking experience!
