Horsens Teaterfestival
Come and join a world of theatrical experiences as Horsens Municipality invites you to Denmark's largest performing arts festival for children and young people. Every year at the end of September, almost 50 performances can be enjoyed in the city center.
An abundance of family-friendly theatrical experiences
Horsens' own theatre festival offers a unique opportunity to witness a showcase of the best Danish theatre productions for children and youth. The festival features over 35 innovative performances by theater troupes from both Denmark and abroad. Shows and other program elements will take place at various cultural venues in the city center of Horsens—often free of charge, but registration may be required.
The city's children, youth, and adults can freely indulge in a wealth of fantastic theatre experiences. Simultaneously, the festival serves as a meeting point and sales platform for the industry, allowing cultural mediators and theater buyers to stay informed about the latest trends. The festival is an excellent opportunity to preview outstanding performances before making bookings for one's own productions.
