A hand‐pulled wagon filled with nettles, displaying a scarecrow, and a humming nettle god, is the centrepiece of a colourful parade of farmers walking through the pedestrian zone much like old‐day farmers from Amager who came to Amagertorv with their harvest. The parade stops at various locations on route to juice the nettles and serve the thick, green juice to the public in hand made clay cups.
