The weekend before the first Advent there will be a Christmas Fair in the Swedish church in Copenhagen again. It is always a pleasure to welcome our visitors. The Christmas Fair in Gustafskyrkan is the oldest one in Denmark, and many Copenhageners consider our fair to be the place where Christmas begins.
Since 1912 started this traditional fair. Things have changed during the years but we still are wearing our traditional folkcustomes. Some customes that can be seen on the photo from 1912 are still beeing owned by the church.
HRH Princess Benedikte will open the Christmas Fair on Friday afternoon.
The Christmas concert starts at 2 pm on Sunday the 24st, in the church. You can listen to the Church Choir, soloists and accompaniment. The tickets are 175 DKK.
We bid a warm welcome to this year’s Christmas Fair! Already by the gate, there will be a tempting scent of “glögg” and hot meatballs from the stalls. Inside you can make bargains at the book stall, and also at the flea market! There are a lot of Christmas Elfs to choose from at “Julboden”, and in other stalls you will find colorful posters, cards and advent calendars, candlesticks, tablecloths and other items for the homemaker. There are striped candy sticks in abundance, and why not try your luck at one of our classic lotteries with fine prizes? There is no Swedish Christmas without ham and smoked salmon and these and other delicacies can, as usual, be found at the Food stall. When you need a well deserved break, you’ll find it in the café, where freshly made sandwiches, Swedish cheese cake, “lussekatter” and homemade cookies are available.
Address: Folke Bernadottes Allé 4. 2100 København Ø. 5 minutes from Østerport station
