Copenhagen St. Patrick’s Day Parade – Celebrating 20 Years!
YES!
We are moving the parade into the WEEKEND – 2025: Sunday 16th of March
For the first time in the history of Copenhagen St. Patrick’s Day Parade, this popular event will not take place on the 17th of March but on Sunday the 16th. A big change moving it to a Sunday, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary in 2025, that will make attending and volunteering even more enjoyable!

On Rådhuspladsen, the city hall square, we come together to enjoy a festive afternoon of music, dance, sport and fun and a green parade through the streets of Copenhagen.
