About
Valby Vinterfest is the first stop of a new winter festival that moves around Copenhagen's neighborhoods. Over a weekend, venues across Valby fill with music, film, talks, workshops and shared meals. For kids, the draw is hands-on: drawing an instrument that plays when touched, building a light and sound installation with a piano, family Zumba and a craft workshop with a little Spanish. The evening program leans toward adults.
