A number of other languages meetings then followed, which later evolved into folk festivals and national meetings.
The first was held on 18 May 1843 instead of 14 May, since this was a Sunday and would have conflicted with the holiday law.
Beginning at sunrise the participants hoisted the Dannebrog, a huge split flag 12 Ell long and 6 ell wide (7.68 by 3.84 metres (25.2 by 12.6 ft)).
At 11 o'clock Højskamling was inaugurated and Laurids Skau became the first speaker.
Drewsen spoke next and handed over a silver drinking horn to P. Hiort Lorenzen.
It was made of Danish silver pieces and bore the inscription, "He spoke Danish, and continued to speak Danish."
Later on, the Højskamlings banner was consecrated, with a speech by teacher A. C. Abbey from Moltrup and the rest of the day continued with songs, music, disc shooting and dancing.
The celebrations ended at nightfall with bonfires and singing.

The second meeting on 4 July 1844 was a protest meeting over the King's degradation of the Danish language's influence in the charter of 29 March 1844.
This meeting had native language conservation as its key theme which applied to all of the Nordic countries.
The previous evening, a steamer with 120 citizens from Copenhagen arrived, including N. F. S. Grundtvig, Orla Lehmann, Carl Ploug and Meïr Aron Goldschmidt.
The huge party began at sunrise with hoisting of the flag accompanied by cannon salutes.
Then, after Kaj Hansen from Vonsild had welcomed everyone, Laurids Skau made a speech.
Carl Ploug was in the audience and it is probably this speech he refers to when he later writes about the peasant who says:
... from South Jutland High,

thousands listened, staring

as scintillating starlight thoughts flew,

as words rattled like swords.

The next speaker was N. F. S. Grundtvig, who ended his speech with a prophecy:
Northern Schleswig-Holstein inhabitants continued to speak Danish, it must be after centuries of history, the main abstracts of your giant story.

Hiort Lorenzen then walked on to the podium, to talk about the United States Declaration of Independence as he had chosen 4 July as the date for this Skamlingsbanken Meeting.
Orla Lehmann followed on and promised the inhabitants of South Jutland to stand with them through thick and thin.
Professor C. Paulsen then spoke, saying, "a people are only lost when it denies itself self."
After lunch, Carl Ploug addressed the meeting claiming that North Schleswig had the backing not only of the Danish people but the whole of Scandinavia.
Kloster, a teacher from Sommersted also took the podium and after him came Meïr Aron Goldschmidt, editor of The Corsair.
who said:
I am your brother.
Here is my hand.
May it write for you?
can it hit for you?
So command!

This celebration ended with a giant bonfire consisting of three or four trees and some tar barrels.

The third meeting was also a protest meeting.
On 18 July 1845 it drew 8,000 people with a large contingent from Norway and Sweden.
Among the speakers was Laurids Skau, Steen Steensen Blicher Frederik Barfod and Carl Ploug, whose speech was suppressed by censors in Denmark, but was reported in Swedish magazines.

The fourth meeting opened with a mood of happy expectation, since an open royal letter dated 8 July 1846, laid out Denmark's claim to the whole of Schleswig.
Carl Ploug spoke at this meeting and once again the speech was censored.

On 28 June 1847, the fifth meeting took place when Laurids Skau was pleased to report on the establishment of a Danish teacher training college and that the German high school in Haderslev, would henceforth teach in Danish.
Master Helweg from the folk high school in Rødding then took the podium and pupils from the entire school sang.
There were almost as many people present as there had been at the 1844 protest meeting.

This proved to be the last language festival due to the start of the First Schleswig War.
