About

The Santa Lucia Kayak Parade features hundreds of kayaks decorated with sparkling Christmas lights, moving through Copenhagen's canals and harbor. Kayakers sing traditional carols along the route, passing Nyhavn, Christianshavn, and BLOX. The official parade departs from Kayak Bar at 17:00. Spectators can watch from the waterfront or a bridge. Participants may also book a decorated kayak in advance via relevant accounts to join the procession. Arrive 30 minutes early for a good view, and consider locations like Christianshavn which are typically less crowded than Nyhavn.
