Mark your calendar and join us as we celebrate everyone who makes Copenhagen a better place to be.
It happens on May 13, when we present the Ibyen Prize 2026.
It all kicks off at 4 p.m. in Byhaven at Pumpehuset, where we’ll salute the restaurants, cafés, bars, initiatives, and people who have gone the extra mile for Copenhagen.
There will be concerts, cold beers, and great food — and of course, admission is free for everyone. And since it’s a public holiday the next day, there’s really no excuse not to come.
This year’s hosts are Politiken’s Felix Thorsen Katzenelson and Helin Erdem, who will guide us through the evening.
DJ Phie Stenbæk will also be spinning records, and Carlina de Place (duo), Søn, and Katinka will perform throughout the night.
The 25 nominees for the Ibyen Prize 2026 have been announced, and you can read more about them and cast your vote here:
