About
Fastelavn is Denmark's dress-up festival before Lent, and Designmuseum Denmark holds a party for it in its protected historic garden. Kids come in costume and take turns swinging at the barrel, where courage and good aim can make one of them the cat king (kattekonge). It suits kids who love dressing up and want a go at a classic Danish tradition, with parents cheering or taking a swing themselves.
Where it is
Designmuseum Danmark, Museumshaven
Bredgade 68, 1260 København K
