H.C. Andersen Festivals arrives downtown with a huge moving festival through the streets.

Performance group HeartBeat leads a lively parade of more than 100 children through Odense’s city centre, with everyone invited to join in and follow along as the festival moves through the streets. Keeping the beat on buckets, pipes and kitchenware, HeartBeat and the kids will create an energising samba procession as they bring the festival vibe to the city. The parade will also include a number of the great acts which will perform during the festival.

HeartBeat performers: Nils Kløvedal, Thomas Hansen, Søren Brandt Monberg and Morten Brandt Monberg.
