In this video Derek looks at Danish culture and history to explain why Danes go so crazy for New Years fireworks. Fireworks in Denmark have always been a spectacle since moving to Copenhagen in 2017. Year after year, we are amazed at just how wild for fireworks our Danish friends and neighbors can get. We know firsthand that this can be a weird tradition for many foreigners living in Denmark - even if they're used to celebrating New Years with a fireworks show.

We've always wondered why the tradition of New Years Eve fireworks has become so intense in Denmark. In Danish history, there are examples of pistols being used to "ring in the new year" and there are many examples of Danish history being shaped by fireworks. Most of all, the Seest fireworks tragedy in 2004.

This video explains the historical and cultural reasons behind the love of fireworks in Denmark as well as the changing opinions of most Danes. The change in public sentiment could result in new Danish laws to restrict fireworks in Denmark beginning next New Years Eve.

How will New Years Eve in Denmark continue to evolve and what do you think about Danes and their love of fireworks?
