Fish After Dark – September 13, 2025 – A Magical Evening at the Harbor
As darkness falls over Thorsminde, the harbor comes to life in a magical interplay of light, sound, and taste.
Fish After Dark is a unique experience where the power of the sea and the raw beauty of nature meet art, fire, and gastronomy.
Be enchanted by spectacular light installations and artistic performances created by Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium, transforming the harbor area into a sensory universe of colors and shadows. Music and light merge to create an atmosphere where you can experience the soul of the harbor in an entirely new way.
Bring family and friends for a magical evening where light, fire, and flavors from the sea blend into a truly unforgettable experience.
