Aarhus Festuge (Aarhus Festival) turns Aarhus, Denmark into a 10-day celebration of arts, culture, and community each late August to early September. Across streets, parks, museums, and venues, you’ll find pop-up concerts, street theatre, visual-art and light installations, talks, and bite-sized food events, mixing big headline moments with free, easy drop-ins. It’s designed for wandering: follow the buzz from the riverfront to the city center, sampling whatever catches your eye.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Aarhus or a Aarhus & East Jutland route—we’ll plan event hubs & schedules, day-by-day pacing, restaurant reservations, local transport & walkability, and a central, easy-transit stay near the city center.
