Northern Europe’s largest carnival, held every May in Aalborg with 100,000+ participants and spectators. Over three days, elaborately costumed samba schools, marching bands, and themed floats parade through the city streets in an explosion of colour, music, and dance. Unlike the solemnity of most northern European cities in spring, Aalborg Carnival is a genuinely tropical-spirited celebration that transforms the city into a party for an entire weekend.
