HELLO COPENHAGEN

Kronprinse​nsgade 9, in the back at Le Fix behind Cheep Monday Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // No entrance fee

A great way to start your weekend could be by dropping by Kronprinsensgade 9 in the backyard and chill with the two shops Cheap Monday and  Le Fix.

The two shops invites you to pancakes, coffee and some cold beers and don’t worry about the cold, there´s heat from inflamed oil barrels. The whole event is a continuation of a semi-annual neighborhood party  which is held at Kronprinsensgade. The street has been shut down for everyday traffic so that people can drop by and sit and chill in the street, enjoy DJ’s playing music and have a little fun wth friends.

So if you feel like celebrating the start of a great weekend, drop by  the backyard at Kronprinsensgade 9 and bring your perfect after-work/weekend mood and your friends.

See event on facebook.

14:00 – 16:00 // no entrance fee (free soup for the first 200 visitors)

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and DANSEhallerne have invited the Brazilian artist Ricardo Basbaum for a hospitality project of 14 days in Copenhagen.

The project is called ‘Host Guest Ghost’ which states what seems to be the essence of the project: An international exchange of different types of art between the professional guest and the students of the Art Academy. The ghost in this matter is what happens when the audience and the artists meet.

At the 1st event in March 2011 the audience witnessed Chef Magnus Sonne on stage surrounded by heaps of ingredients and 2 modern dancers, dancing to the beat of his knife.

I can’t tell you what will happen this time, but it’s definitely going to be centred on words and soup, and most likely include more joy than an ordinary sleepy Sunday at home.

12:30 – 15:30 // fee of 50 DKK for materials for the sledge

“It’s gonna be a cold, cold christmas without…” a sledge!

It’s not that I haven’t noticed the lack of snow, I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry.

(And what would be cooler than riding your own self-made sledge when the snow gets here?)

On this day Kulturskaberne provide you with all the materials, equipment and hopefully a bit of guidance in how to build your own sledge.

There will be material available for 50 sledges in total and of course you will find shining lights in the christmas tree, hot chocolate and sweet christmas tunes as well. So, bring a friend and build away!

Maybe you are hungover on sunday and need something spicy to jumpstart your system – maybe you just have curious taste buds… In both cases World Food Fair should meet your demands.

Taste Nørrebro and Frederiksberg which basically include the whole world. There will be, among others, food from Marocco, Thailand and Palestine. Vegetarian delights and organic dishes will also be served.

I know it’s late in the month and money are scarce – but 10 tastes are only 15 kr.
