Copenhagen Car-Free Sunday Cancelled Due To Rainy Weather

The annual Car-Free Sunday on Nørrebrogade in Copenhagen was cancelled today.

Rainy weather and scattered showers forced organizers to call off the event.

The tradition closes Nørrebrogade to all cars and bicycles once each year.

Nørrebro Lokaludvalg announced the sudden cancellation on their Facebook page.

Committee chairman Mogens Pedersen expressed deep disappointment over the decision.

Organizers delayed the choice hoping the weather would improve during the morning.

However, key participants withdrew because activities like outdoor yoga needed dry ground.

Participants could not do chalk drawing on wet asphalt during rain showers.

Safety concerns also influenced the decision to cancel the popular street gathering.

Without large crowds, drivers and cyclists might ignore the street closure signs.

The committee confirmed the annual event cannot be rescheduled for another date.

DR reported this story based on statements from the local district committee.
