Luciaoptog i Frederikshavn

More than 50 children and youth dressed in traditional Lucia attire carry lights through the Christmas-decorated streets of Frederikshavn while singing familiar Lucia songs. The procession journeys from the Tordenskjold statue at Fisketorvet to Frederikshavn Kirke, where the evening finishes with a short Christmas concert. Visitors can also spot Santa Julle giving out surprise gifts or catch a ride on a horse-drawn carriage running between Kirkepladsen and Fisketorvet.
