Schoolchildren welcome spring with song

Schoolchildren across Denmark have marked the arrival of spring by gathering to sing traditional songs, reports DR. The annual event, known as “singing in spring,” sees students perform outdoors as part of a long-standing Danish tradition.

Participants typically sing classic spring-themed folk songs, often accompanied by teachers or local musicians. The gatherings take place in schoolyards, parks, and public squares, with some schools inviting parents and community members to join.

The tradition dates back decades and is tied to the Danish cultural calendar, where seasonal changes are celebrated through music and communal activities.
