The Little Mermaid's 94th birthday party

On 23 August 1913 the famous statue of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid was unveiled. The statue was created by the Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen, and donated to the city of Copenhagen by brewer Carl Jacobsen of the Carlsberg Breweries. Every year on this date her birthday is celebrated with a number - equivalent to that of her age - of young women jumping into Copenhagen Harbor and forming her age on the waves. This film is from her 94th birthday in 2007. On shore is music, balloons, singing of Happy Birthday and other activities to pay homage to this famous old lady and Copenhagen's landmark.
