The fairytale comes to Ærøskøbing
When the H.C. Andersen Parade returns to Ærøskøbing, it feels like stepping straight into a living fairytale. Starting at the harbour, the colourful parade makes its way through the town’s cobbled streets, with characters from H.C. Andersen’s beloved stories greeting both young and old. The parade ends with a charming performance in the town square – right in the heart of Ærøskøbing.
A living fairytale for all ages
For over 30 years, the parade has brought fairytale magic to audiences around the world, sharing the life and works of H.C. Andersen through music, song, and theatre. Leading the way is actor Torben Iversen as the old poet himself – surrounded by 20 delightful fairytale characters in colourful, original costumes. The show is heartfelt, humorous, and full of energy, offering something for everyone.
