INTERNATIONAL PARADE

The international parade moves from J.F. Kennedys Plads and down to Gabels Torv.
The parade starts on Friday 17 May at. 18: 00
There is an opportunity to see the parade from the sidewalk all the way down Boulevarden, Østerågade and Nytorv. We will set up 3 tribunes in the area of Nytorv, where you can buy a seat during the day, so you don’t have to stand behind that tall guy and miss it all.
