Bakken is an amusement park, beautifully situated in the woods north of Copenhagen. It has a history of more than 400 years. In short, I guess you could call it the proletarian cousin of the more famous Tivoli. One of the main attractions are Bakkens Hvile, a music hall that dates back to 1877.
Traditionally, Bakkens Hvile closes the season with a grand show on the evening of the last Saturday in August. Here are a few pictures, for those of you who couldn’t make it yourself:
