Pentecost Day (Danish="pinsedag")and second Pentecost Day are general holidays in Denmark. Most shops, companies and all schools are closed both days.

Midsummer (Sankt Hans) is not holiday - but is still celebrated many places in Danmark. Many people light an often very big fire and sing a few songs and make grill together. Only the evening is celebrated. Midsummers Day is an ordinary day.

Roskilde Agricultural Show (Roskilde Dyrskue) is the largest food- and agricultural event on Sjælland. It is placed in Roskilde - not far from Copenhagen - and many people visit it.

The National Show (Landsskuet) in Herning is the largest agricultural event in Denmark.

Roskilde Festival is the largest rytmic musical festival in Northern Europe. Read more about Roskilde Festival.
