What you need to know
- The big fire burns late: in the 2016 program the kids' bonfire was at 7pm and the big bonfire at 10pm, so younger kids can leave early
- Bakken's own characters: in the 2016 program Pjerrot and Kalle Kronhjort welcomed the kids, and Pjerrot lit their fire
- No gate fee at Bakken: the park charges no admission, so you can come for the fires and leave when you like
About
Sankt Hans Aften is Denmark's midsummer bonfire night, and at Bakken, the world's oldest amusement park, it has been celebrated by the lake at Kildesøen for centuries. The evening opens with a smaller bonfire for kids, the midsummer song and entertainment, so the youngest can be part of it. Later comes the bonfire speech, the lighting of the big bonfire, music and fireworks.
