Torvet becomes the marketplace of magic
When the Fantasy Festival takes over Esbjerg from 19–21 September, Torvet transforms into an enchanting meeting place where artisans, illustrators, costume and jewelry makers tempt you with unique finds side by side with mead, crepes, and cafés.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to wander among the stalls, lured by glittering jewelry, handcrafted art, and bubbling elixirs. As you explore, the air will be filled with medieval bands and street theatre, and suddenly you may find yourself face to face with trolls, orcs, and giants – or be captivated by fire shows, dancing, and stories that open portals to entirely new worlds.
But beware! Not all is peace and harmony. At the center, warriors prepare for battle, blood rushing through their veins as they cross swords. You may even step into the ring yourself… if you dare.
Some activities require a wristband, others can be enjoyed completely free of charge.

Thanks to the patrons of magic
Everything you experience at Torvet is made possible by donations from foundations and sponsors who generously bring magic to the very heart of the festival. Without their support, neither fire, music, nor the bustle of the market could unfold on such a scale.
