Juelsminde Harbour Festival (Havnefest)
There is always lots of atmosphere in the port town Juelsminde during summer whenever the sun is shining. But the atmosphere always peaks in July, when the biggest harbour festival on the Danish east coast takes place. Come and enjoy good music, stand-up, the funfair, and party in the tents.
The local summer highlight
Juelsminde Harbour Festival heralds summer every year in the little seaside gem on the east coast of Denmark, Juelsminde. The area around the marina and The Great Beach is turned into a big festival site with a funfair, party tents, and music scenes. Many of the activities are free, but most concerts and shows with some of Denmark’s most famous artists require you to purchase a ticket. At the harbour festival you can find something to suit all tastes and for all age groups. So bring your friends or family for party, events, or simply a stroll through the festival site when visiting Juelsminde.
