In June, Tinderbox is the setting for Denmark's 2nd largest music festival, where many international artists visit Odense every year. Here you can experience pop, rock and techno of all kinds, and take part in one of Denmark's biggest parties together with the locals.
One of the biggest festivals is the magical Hans Christian Andersen Festivals, which every August creates a magical atmosphere throughout Odense, with impressive light shows, concerts and Hans Christian Andersen-themed performances on every street corner, setting the scene for a fantastic experience.
