Jul på Højbro Plads runs from 14 November to 20 December 2026 on the square between Amagertorv and the Slotsholmen canal, and it suits families who want stories and music with their shopping. It's a new market under a new organizer in 2026, so nobody has a past season to judge it by.

The organizer built this market around the Danish Realm, so the huts and their stories come from Greenland and the Faroe Islands as well as Denmark. Children get a fairy tale told by talking trees about a character called Julius Klejne, and the programme adds family activities and music. The square sits just off Strøget near Amagertorv, and a walk there from Tivoli along Strøget passes the Nytorv market on the way.
The market that filled Højbro Plads in earlier years won't be on the square in 2026. Its team says it is moving to City Hall Square, where Copenhagen's visitor service lists a market from 11 to 20 December.
