Festivals
Medieval Week, celebrated in early August, is a citywide festival marking the invasion of the prosperous island by the Danish king Valdemar on July 22, 1361. Celebrations begin with Valdemar's grand entrance parade and continue with jousts, an open-air market on Strandgatan, and street-theater performances re-creating the period.
