Bremen Theatre, Nyrupsgade 39 - 41, city Show map

23.00 – ?? // no entrance fee

Frost festival – a winter music festival – begins today and is celebrated with a party at Bremen Theatre.

The dj set looks cool – not that I’m an expert. But if I were to choose an alternative to the established club scene tonight, this would definitely be it!

Kronprinse​nsgade 9, in the back at Le Fix behind Cheep Monday Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // No entrance fee

A great way to start your weekend could be by dropping by Kronprinsensgade 9 in the backyard and chill with the two shops Cheap Monday and  Le Fix.

The two shops invites you to pancakes, coffee and some cold beers and don’t worry about the cold, there´s heat from inflamed oil barrels. The whole event is a continuation of a semi-annual neighborhood party  which is held at Kronprinsensgade. The street has been shut down for everyday traffic so that people can drop by and sit and chill in the street, enjoy DJ’s playing music and have a little fun wth friends.

So if you feel like celebrating the start of a great weekend, drop by  the backyard at Kronprinsensgade 9 and bring your perfect after-work/weekend mood and your friends.

Copenhagen invites you to get winter jazzy for the next two weeks!

The annual Copenhagen Winter Jazz festival has kick-off today and runs for two full weeks, with big and small jazz concerts all over Denmark.

One of the ideas behind the Winter Jazz festival is to put focus on all the dedicated jazz places all over Denmark, and to encourage different music venues to be more jazzy..

Most of the concerts are being held at small music venues and have free entries.

So get out there – support your local music café or bar and get jazzier! It will definitely keep you warm in the winter cold!

Urban Outfitter, Strøget (Østergade 42), city Show map

18:00 – 20:00 // no entrance fee

Urban Outfitters fashion reception is one of the more easy access ones.

Their PR event offers live music delivered by Kasper Bjørke, goodie bags to the first arrivers, plenty of free Carlsberg beers, energizing drinks and of course a sneak peak of a fashion collection – this time by Carin Wester (not a bad choice, I might add)

I took this picture at their event last summer – a lot of people are waiting to get a goodiebag, so if you want one, prepare to stand in line.

Rezet Store, Rådhusstræde 7 up the stairs to the right, city Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // no entrance fee

As you may know,  this week has been declared fashion week in Copenhagen.

This of course means a lot of “hard to reach” parties and closed doors – but it also means small receptions and free drinks.

Rezet Store is a fairly new (and my personal favorite) sneaker store in Copenhagen. It’s a bit secluded from the busy Strøget and has a welcoming atmosphere.

The small shop is host when the ‘street’ brand Moustage is launching their new collection – their first collection was completely sold out, so I guess if you are into street fashion, this would not be a bad place to get some shopping inspiration.

Also there will be vodka/Burn for the thirsty and of course a dj will be spreading the good vibes.

Bremen Teater, Nyrupsgade 39 - 41, city Show map

20:00 – 02:00 // 50 DKK

The theater Bremen has put some of my favorite activities in a pot and stirred it around.

Charismatic flee market in between blue velvet theatre chairs. Burgers flipped and sold directly from the bike on the stage. Drinks, dj,s and live music.

Remember to bring cash.

You’ll definitely see me there.

Old Mate Coffee Bar, Nansensgade 26 tv, city Show map

13:00 – 17:00 // no entrance fee

I actually got this event recommended by my Canadian friend Michael. He loves Copenhagen and talks about Denmark as a country with a lot of great hidden music… But he can’t buy it anymore, as he sadly, has moved back to Canada.

I promised to get him some music stuff (Efterklang) at this event, as it is exceptionally cheap.

Maybe I’ll find some cheap arty posters, books etc. for  the friends without christmas wishes. And coffee… Lots of coffee.

20:00 – 22:30 // no entrance fee

Pecha Kucha is Japanese for “Chit chat” and is about a number of creatives presenting their work, ideas and visions in 20 elements which each gets exactly 20 seconds of attention from the speeker – all to all a presentation of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

An element could be a picture, a performance, a sound clip – everything is allowed as long as it doesn’t exceeds 20 seconds.

The presentations are primarily in Danish, but I know that some are going to be in English.
For a detailed line up, see Facebook event.

If you are in town between 21 and 23 July and feel like chilling in the park, the open air film screenings in Ørstedsparken seem like a perfect thing to do. Presented by the MIX Copenhagen (formerly Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) this year’s showings include The Kids Are All Right, Howl and The Last Summer of La Boyita.

The entry is free, there is a bar, cheap popcorn and music before the showings. Hopefully the weather will also contribute to the summerhygge.
