karrusel is a three-day open-air festival held on refshaleøen, a post-industrial harbour island that has become a hub for copenhagen's alternative and electronic culture. the site sits on former shipyard land and hosts a cluster of creative venues, giving the festival an urban-industrial backdrop rather than a rural or forest setting.

the event runs across a full weekend and draws from the broader electronic spectrum, sitting within a scene that connects progressive, techno, and psy-adjacent sounds. it carries an 18+ policy and operates regardless of weather, which reflects the expectations of a northern european outdoor festival.
