Come to Ø FEST!!! Join us in a celebrating of the harbour, culture and the community together with the neighbours, artists, entrepreneurs, associations, institutions and companies that create life and bring people closer together on Byens Ø in Odense Harbour.
Ø Fest takes place on Byens Ø, along the beautiful harbor quays that still exude raw industry as well as on the water. The program will feature open workshops, live music and concerts, walking performance at Odense Harbour, skating, parkour, sailing talks, food, the opening of DYNAMO’s new outdoor stage and much, much more. Come and see the French circus performance IMPACT D’UNE COURSE BYENS Ø by the company la horde dans le pavés, which combines circus and parkour in the most delicious way and is a tribute to the meeting between people in the city (ticket required).
DYNAMO is the driving force behind the Ø FEST.
