The Copenhagen Report

Well, this week we took in Denmark's biggest annual Festival - Copenhagen Jazz Festival during Episode #58 of MyDenmarkTV.com. That it is the biggest festival in Denmark may come as a bit of a surprise since it really doesn't attract the same level of attention as other festivals, particularly the Roskilde Festival. But at 240,000 guests its got the Roskilde Festival handily beat in terms of guests.

Actually, this is part of the 2 part answer to the question: How do you know its summer in Denmark? (1. Roskilde Festival 2. Copenhagen Jazz Festival)

There are so many concerts every year at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival that it's hard to know where to begin. There are a good number of public concerts for free, though I'd say (to generalize) they are not the best ones. If you really want to experience the cutting edge, you've got to shell out a few kroner. And there's a good number of international names every year - it truly is a top-notch, world class festival.

So enjoy this weeks episode!

As always, I try to give a little shout out whenever I discover a cool link to this blog....and this time it's Air Canada that was kind of enough to list The Copenhagen Report on the Copenhagen city guide page of the online version of their inflight magazine Enroute.

As a Canadian living in Copenhagen I think I've quite fairly earned this one!

Good stuff! Thanks again for the link!

Well, Sankt Hans Aften for this year has come and gone. We grabbed our cameras (actually, we only had 1 camera for this episode) and headed to the nearby beach by bike - Amager Strand - which given the great weather of the day seemed like the right party to choose (and it was!). There are a loads of them to choose from in Copenhagen every June 23.  We kept it light and entertaining, with lots of great footage from the bonfires.

So check out Episode #57 of MyDenmarkTV.com for the complete lowdown. Enjoy!
