Bamsefestival

Friday and Saturday there was a cute little festival in Lyngby called "Bamsefestival",or in English, Bear Festival. Teddy bears, not real live bears, but that sure would be interesting to see a bunch of bears walking around Lyngby Hovedgade, and perhaps a little scary....hmmmm...

Sorry, I got sidetracked.

The main street, Lyngby Hovedgade, was closed off to traffic which made it even more cute than it usually is. I should mention that the main street is just steps away from our flat. We both walk some part of this street on a daily basis. We live in the center of town which makes our lives here, incredibly convenient, especially when events are going on, we can just pop outside to have a look! There were fun things going on all day long. Magicians, dance shows, free candy for the kids, animal balloon makers and much much more. This took place all throughout the center of town. We walked around a little bit just to soak up the fun atmosphere. I had never seen so many Danish flags flying in Lyngby before, and I've seen a lot of Danish flags especially on the royals birthdays.

You'll have to make this picture big to see all the flags on both sides of the street. There was barely any wind this day so all the lovely flags just kinda stayed limp on their poles.

Everything being sold here was for kids. Toys, stuffed animals, and other fun kiddy stuff.

Bamse!

Its not everyday you see tiny horses walking up and down Lyngby Hovedgade

What a fun festival that must have been! It is so cute to see all of the things around you. We really have nothing to relate it to, huh?
