Christmas Parade with Father Christmas in Musikhuset Park

Father Christmas arrives in Aarhus and kicks off the festive season with a parade through the city centre. Before he arrives, the park in front of Musikhuset hosts seasonal fun with music, dancing and a skating rink display.

Once Father Christmas has arrived and been welcomed by the crowd, he leads a procession through town with music and dancers, spreading festive cheer along the way. The parade ends with the lights of the star sky switched on over the 850-metre star carpet on the shopping street, with around half a million bulbs, and the day closes with a sing-along on Lille Torv.
