What is 4+ days?
4+ days is a selection of carefully curated activities spanning the four days leading up to Tønder Festival. The aim is to enrich the festival experience with a local touch: learn the art of lace-making, scan the landscape for Tales of Zeppelins, or enjoy a rustic breakfast buffet in an authentic Kalendehus. All tours and experiences can be booked directly via our booking platform.
4+ for 2026 is not yet planned. However, you can get a selection of the experiences that were in 2025 below. We expect that the 4+ experiences for 2026 will be announced around June/July.
