THE TIVOLI YOUTH GUARD'S CHRISTMAS PARADE is Now at Tivoli
The parade runs through December 18.
The 100 boys and girls that now make up the Tivoli Youth Guard are the current face of a tradition stretching back to 1844, when the world's first youth guard was formed as a "Lilliputian Military". After Tivoli opened successfully in 1843, its founder, Georg Carstensen, decided to give himself a Tivoli Boys Guard as a birthday present for Tivoli's second season - and so it came to pass.
Today the Tivoli Youth Guard is a year-round music school for boys and girls aged 8-16 who have passed the admission tests. The Fifes and Drums and the Tivoli Youth Guard Concert Band are elite youth ensembles in their fields, while the Colour Guard specialises in the military tradition surrounding the Tivoli Youth Guard. At the same time, all sections are the foundation stones of the schooling and upbringing that the guards receive during their time in the Tivoli Youth Guard.
Like Tivoli itself, the Tivoli Youth Guard is well-known in many parts of the world. The Guard regularly travels abroad to represent Tivoli and Denmark through music and parades. The uniform of bearskin hat, red jacket and white trousers form a visual icon that instantly symbolises much of the good that Tivoli and Denmark represent.
The parade runs through December 18, 2021.
