Summer is here. Normally Kongens Lyngby is relatively quiet when it comes to summer events. But not in 2020.
Every Saturday until the August 29, there will be different activities in the city. From music to treasure hunts, and circus and entertainment in the streets – for the joy of both kids, adults and those in between.
It is the Kongens Lyngby Business Association (Handelsforeningen) which has arranged “Kgs. Lyngby – your summer city” in close coorperation with the municipality of Lyngby-Taarbæk, who has, among other things, contributed economically to the activities. All the activities comply with the guidelines set out by the authorities in connection with COVID-19, so everybody can feel safe being in the city.
