Potato Holidays in the Autumn Break in Østergade – Fun Activities for the Whole Family

During the autumn break, Østergade in the heart of Bogense transforms into a lively and cozy street packed with activities for the entire family. The Danish name "Potato Holiday" (Kartoffelferie) dates all the way back to the old days when children were given time off school to help harvest potatoes. Today, the heavy chores have been replaced with creative workshops, fun games, and a great autumn atmosphere.
