About Skagen Festival

Skagen Festival is Denmark's most seasoned music celebration having been held each mid-year since 1971. The yearly occasion happens on ious stages in Skagen in the furthest north of Jutland over the principal few days of July. The main celebration in 1971 titled "Skagen Visefestival" Skagen Song Festival was held in Tuxen's Villa, the previous living arrangement of Laurits Tuxen, one of the Skagen Painters. The members came for the most part from Norway and Denmark. It at that point moved to the Sports Center where there was more space before being held in the Skagen Kultur-og Fritidscenter. From 1996, the celebration was held outside with tents pitched on the sand rises or near the harbor. It presently happens at different areas in the town and around the harbor. At first, the celebration was held in the course of the most recent end of the week in June however since 1989, the principal end of the week in July has been the favored date.

The celebration's trademark is "It's great to see you!” the title of Allan Taylor's melody which Alex Cambell sang at the celebration back in the 1970s. Somewhere in the range of 650 volunteers get together for a week or so to make the important courses of action. Presently a global celebration, it presents different sorts of people music including society shake, jazz, and blues.
