Arrival of Santa Claus
This year, Santa Claus will arrive in Vejle on 29 November 2026 at Rådhustorvet in Vejle.
The event is free, but tickets are required.
Christmas at Økolariet
Økolariet is repeating last year’s success and will be open in December up to and including 18 December.
Once again this year, the forest elf Kogle will stop by to tell elf stories and light the Christmas tree. Perhaps she will also get up to a little mischief during her visit? There will also be a Lucia procession, a Christmas workshop and Christmas fun.
Alletiders Pyrus
This year, from 7 November until Christmas, you can experience something truly magical at Museum Give: the Alletiders Pyrus exhibition.
Get up close to the original props from the Pyrus universe from TV 2’s much-loved Christmas calendar.
It has been more than 30 years since the young archive elf Pyrus moved into the National Archives together with Gyldengrød and, not least, Kandis and Bertramsen. Since he started messing around with history, he has rediscovered traditions and stories about Christmas, elves and Santa Claus.
So join the hunt through the museum’s exhibitions and help find the true Christmas spirit. But where is Christmas actually hiding?
Christmas on Lundhusvej
Once again this year, you can experience the Christmas lights on Vejle’s Christmas street on Lundhusvej, where the entire street is lit up every evening until New Year. Take an evening stroll along the street and enjoy countless lights, elves, Santa Clauses and much more, as the residents of Lundhusvej come together to create a festive Christmas atmosphere in the town.
The lights will be switched on this year on 22 November at 5:24 pm.
En lille nisse rejste – Christmas show for the whole family
This year, you can join a magical Christmas adventure with Theo the elf – an elf who does not believe he is good at anything. But perhaps he will learn otherwise on his journey? Maybe he will even meet Santa.
The performance takes place at Vejle Musikteater on 19 December at 2 pm and is for the whole family (from age 5).
Give Ice Sculpture Festival
Experience ice sculptors working on their icy artworks, Ice for Kids, street theatre, cozy moments and Christmas music in the streets of Give, activities for children and competitions. The shops will be open, and there are plenty of parking spaces around the town.
Keep an eye on this page for more information.
