In Loppen (the Flea) there are regular musical events with everything from Turkish music to amateur rock and traditional jazz. The variety of events are the hall-mark of the place.

Theatre and political actions mark the first years of Christiania. In 1974, 12 non-party lists, combined in the electoral pact "Valgborgs Favn" (Valborg's bosom), run in the municipal elections. The pact wins one seat, which is given to the Women's List.

Tine Schmedes brings her baby to the city council meetings, and when she breast-feeds her child in public one day, there is an outcry in the media. A mega barricade party is arranged with participation of many well-known artists, politicians, theatre groups, well-known and unknown bands, and with pageants, divine field service, guards' parade, front cinema, communal singing, a children's party, information booths, socio-political hearings and the "Peking Opera" performed by Solvognen (the Sun Wagon) in Den Grå Hal (the Grey Hall).

The first documentary about the struggle for the Freetown, "Law and Order in Christiania" by filmmaker Nils Vest, is shown as an introductory in many cinemas around Denmark.

The Christmas Army of Solvognen captures the city for five days and distributes free gifts in the apartment stores to the great enjoyment of young and old. Of course, the Santas are arrested, but the image of the police hitting Santa Claus hits the front pages of newspapers worldwide.

Clearance threats and the Peasant Army
In 1975, Christiania becomes a bone of contention between the City of Copenhagen and the State. But Parliament decides at last that the area must be cleared by April 1, 1976 at the latest.

In the meantime, Christiania has started a lot of things: communal baths, children's house, garbage sorting and recycling. Communal shops and workshops begin, while Solvognen performs a parody of the national treasure, "Elverhøj" ("The Elfin Hillock" by H.C.Andersen), in Den Grå Hal. This fairy tale performance creates a lot of attention for the Freetown, and with 40 sold-out performances proves the greatest theatre success of the season in Copenhagen. Christiania mobilizes a peasants' army from Jutland for the coming confrontation with the state. The best-known rock groups of the time make a recording in support of Christiania. It becomes a major success.

But on April 1, nothing happens. At the last moment, Parliament has deferred the clearance of Christiania. Instead, April 1 becomes "April Fools' Day," a gigantic party which manifests what alternative Denmark is capable of.

On July 4, Solvognen carries out a Red Indian demonstration in the Rebild Hills at the Bicentennial celebration of the USA. 40 Red Indians on horseback and several hundred demonstrators take part in the protest against the American policy towards minorities, the poor and the Third World. Danish police officers' violent arrest of the Indians is viewed all over the world. The action finishes in Den Grå Hal, where Christianites, Red Indians and Greenlanders celebrate.

In 1975, the National Museum publishes a book about the alternative urban environment in the Freetown, and a series of well-known planners and architects make enthusiastic speeches about the idea of Christiania. The same year, the Freetown for the first time arranges a Christmas party in the Opera for those who cannot afford to celebrate Christmas. This becomes an annual event, and an important tradition, where several thousand people are served a free Christmas dinner in Den Grå Hal.

Christiania's action against the State
In 1976, Christiania brings an action against the State for breach of promise. The agreement made in 1973 about arranging a competition calling for ideas about the future use of Christiania has still not been realized, and therefore, the Christianites assert that the decision to clear the area is a breach of promise. The Freetown is ably defended by left-wing lawyer, Carl Madsen, who unites law and politics in his fight for freedom. A rainbow army is organized, and all Danes are invited to Christiania. Thousands respond to the call.

The action is brought to prevent a clearance, but in 1977 Christiania loses, and subsequently appeals to the Supreme Court.

In 1977, the Christiania exhibition "Love and Chaos" is mounted at Charlottenborg, the home of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, and a gigantic work festival clears up and repairs the Freetown. Christiania also brings out its own support disk, "Our Music," as a presentation of the Freetown's many poets and musicians.

Solvognen stages two musicals at the same time:
"Comrades in Arms" and "A Life in Trade" in a circus tent and Den Grå Hal, respectively.
