Tønder Festival brings four days of folk and roots “handmade music” to Tønder, Denmark, each last weekend of August, celebrating everything from Nordic folk and Celtic tunes to Americana and songwriter sets. The festival site near the town centre hosts nine stages—from big open-air concerts to the intimate Jamtent for late-night sessions—plus workshops and talks and plenty of spontaneous jams that blur the line between audience and artists. Expect a warm, volunteer-driven community and a town that hums with music from morning coffee to midnight singalongs.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Tønder or a Southern Jutland route—we’ll plan festival passes & set times, venue logistics, local transport & late-night returns, restaurant reservations, and a cozy boutique stay near the historic center.
