Knejpe Festival

Place: Helsingør. Dates: 4 – 5 October 2024

As the saying went on great sailing ships, “You aren’t a real sailor if you haven’t had a good beating in Helsingør!”. Knejpe Festival (the Danish word for tavern) takes you back to an era when the city was full of sailors from around the world. The local taverns host the festival with sea shanties and a little cultural maritime history.
