Bornholm's Culture Week
100 cultural experiences in 10 days with 9 different cultural tracks
Every year in week 38, at the peak of the late summer, the culture week invites you to participate and indulge in cultural events every day around the whole island. This year, Bornholm’s Culture Week celebrates its twentieth anniversary, which means extra festivities.
The activities are organized into nine different categories, which we call cultural tracks. It makes it easy to find the events that you find interesting.
You can choose to follow a specific cultural trail throughout the week – or you can make your own program by choosing from the activities.
The experiences are combined with the focus on a specific city every day of the cultural week, so you have plenty of opportunities to get around the island.
Find all the activities on The Culture week’s website.
Food culture is an area where Bornholm has positioned itself as a food island. This year The Culture Week celebrates its birthday at gaarden (Bornholm’s food culture house).
Arts and Crafts is another area where Bornholm is known and famous for its high standards. You can become more acquainted with this during the cultural week this year.
Bornholm’s Literature Festival takes place every day in a new town. The versatility is significant and ranges from the very narrow to the very wide. For example, meet writers such as Maria Helleberg, Anne Glad and Jussi Adler-Olsen.
Nature which is exotic and varied on Bornholm compared to the rest of Denmark is always an essential element of Bornholm’s Cultural Week with arranged hikes with dedicated guides.
