Check out some new shops or new-to-you restaurants

Just in time for the holiday season, luxury shoe retailer Roccamore has arrived in Aarhus. You may also want to check some of the 2019 winners of Aarhus’s best eateries on your list; this year, Peder Wessel nabbed the prize for the best tavern, while Mefisto was crowned the best overall restaurant in town.

Stay warm by getting your Salsa on

Break out a sweat and pretend you’re on a tropical island at a Christmas-themed salsa dance party hosted by Cubanismo. Live entertainment, guest DJs and bachata, salsa, and reggaeton played all night long are sure to wipe out any trace of winter blues. Tickets are 50DKK, and the party starts 20:00 on December 21.

Check out a gospel concert

If you love gospel, you won’t want to miss one of the most well-known choirs in the world, in town from Harlem, New York, on December 9. Anthony Morgan and his Harlem Spirit of Gospel Choir have collaborated with Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross – just to name a few. Don’t miss the real deal; get your tickets before they sell out.
