#beyourownparade St Patrick's Day Trail
Celebrate Irish culture and links with Denmark on the #beyourownparade trail through Copenhagen city centre during the week of St Patrick’s day from 16-22 March.
Ireland’s national holiday, St Patrick’s Day, is celebrated on the 17th of March all over the world, including here in Denmark. The Covid-19 pandemic has required that we think more creatively about how we celebrate. So this year, we encourage people to #beyourownparade and enjoy a route by Copenhagen’s most famous landmarks picking up some fun facts on the links between Ireland and Denmark on the way.
There is a beautiful stand at each of the following locations:
- Climate - Kongens Nytorv (by the Royal Theatre)
- Diversity – Rådhuspladsen (Copenhagen City Hall)
- Hurling and Gaelic Football - Israels Plads
- Inventions and Design - Købmagergade, Rundetårn
- James Joyce - Gammel Strand
- Irish Language - Christianborg Slotsplads (The Danish Parliament)
- Music - Hovedbanegården/Tivoli (Central Station)
- St Patrick - Havnegade by Inderhavnsbroen
- Seamus Heaney - Dronning Louises Bridge, Nilen
- Vikings - Kalvebod Bølge
We've even created a playlist of Irish music you can listen to while you get some fresh spring air and celebrate with us, together but apart.
