Every year from late August into early September, Aarhus (in Danish: Århus) offers Denmark travelers a major cultural event: The Aarhus Festival.
The Aarhus Festival takes place for 10 days each year and always offers a fresh theme with new performances and entertainment. Over 300 events are included in the Danish city's cultural celebration, such as dance, films, exhibitions, and activities for kids.
The musical side of the Aarhus Festival offers Denmark visitors something for every taste, ranging from classical music and operas to rock and jazz concerts performed by Danish and international special guests. The program always depends on the theme of that year, which can be found at the Aarhus Festival Website.
The festival's performances are located at concert halls in Aarhus, churches, parks, and many other local venues. For the upcoming Aarhus festival, you can check programming, directions, and ticket options at the Aarhus Festival Website.
