Kulturhavn Festival set out in 2001 with three main objectives:

To inspire and motivate the audience to engage more in culture and leisure-time by giving them the opportunity to try out new activities and enjoy some sneak previews from the cultural season that lies ahead
To familiarise the citizens with Copenhagen Harbour as an urban space, encouraging people, associations, cultural institutions and commercial activities to use and develop this blue urban space
To act as companion and a marketing platform for the city's associations and cultural institutions

This year there will be around 230 events and activities including music and theatre on the water; sport from yoga to a “floating water fight” and guided walks and exhibitions.

Kulturhavn Festival
23-25 August 2019.

“Every year in August, Kulturhavn Festival shed light on Copenhagen’s harbour by kickstarting the new cultural and sports season with an abundance of entertaining, challenging and free activities for everyone. Associations and actors from Copenhagen are behind the festival that builds on the values of co-creation, community and inspiration across contributors.”
