Welcome back, dear reader,
I don’t know about you but I’ve had a rough week :) (well, it’s been a rough couple of weeks now, but who’s counting). I still managed to find 15 different events to list though *pats on her own shoulder* Unlike in the past, I’ve found it extremely difficult to go out and enjoy the events I’ve been sharing with you for the past month or so, so here’s hoping that at least some of you are enjoying them :)
Here is another festive edition for you, all the usual suspects but with a Christmas twist - and with 15 events in one week, I’m sure you’ll find at least a few to your liking. Let’s get started:
Copenhagen

FILM & LITERATURE – “The Booksellers” + Book Swap

EXPERIENCE – Santa Lucia i kajakker
It’s that time of the year again. Many people will be rowing through Copenhagen Harbor with lights and lanterns.

You can check the details and the map in the link.

If you’re in the mood to dance, here’s a slightly outdated but still accurate list of recurring dance events in Copenhagen (please check the links before you show up, as some dates may have been cancelled now that the holiday season is upon us).
Have a lovely weekend, and I’ll see you next week!
