We orgainse Expat Dinners events throughout the year to bring Danes and Expats together in a vairety of settings.
This October Expat Dinners will be held on the official "Play Danish Day" ( Spil Dansk Dag). This means that not only will you experience an exciting evening with good food and company but also the yearly festive atmosphere of Danish music life.
Come and taste the cuisines from the different Expats present, meet people from all walks of life, and be part of a celebration of music.
