Nigerian Union in Denmark to Host 2025 Summer Picnic at Fælledparken, Copenhagen Denmark.
As the summer sun graces Copenhagen, the Nigerian Union in Denmark is gearing up for an unforgettable gathering to bring together Nigerians living in and around the city. On July 27th, 2025, from 2pm to 6pm, Fælledparken will be abuzz with laughter, camaraderie, and a joyous display of culture as the Union hosts its annual summer picnic.
Ambassador T. A. Elias Fatile, PHD, CDAai, the Head of Mission at the Embassy of Nigeria in Stockholm, Sweden, will attend the event. While the Queen Phinadon will serve as the MC at the Event. This well-anticipated event isn’t just about fun—it’s about weaving even stronger threads of connection amongst members of the Nigerian community in Denmark. We find it inspiring to see initiatives like this that go beyond mere socializing to focus on fostering unity, peace, and a continued sense of belonging so far from home. There’s a unique magic when familiar faces gather under the open sky, share stories, and celebrate with traditional warmth.
So, what’s on the agenda this year? For starters, there will be an energetic football competition—because, let’s be honest, nothing says “community” like a friendly match where everyone is a superstar, at least for a moment! If football’s not your thing, don’t worry: interactive games, the quirky and always amusing king game, dance sessions, and plenty more activities will keep spirits high and bring out hearty laughs from attendees of all ages.
And it wouldn’t be a true Nigerian get-together without music and dance! Picture a pop-up dance party on the green, with classic beats and contemporary hits bouncing through the park, inviting everyone to join in. For newcomers, these moments offer a gentle entry into the circle, and for longtime members, they provide the comfort of nostalgia.
As picnic baskets open, treats are shared, and new memories are created, the day promises not just entertainment but meaningful connections—some that may last a lifetime. Whether you’re bringing your family, friends, or just your good vibes, this is your invitation to celebrate, reconnect, and bask in the collective spirit of Nigerians in Denmark.
Mark your calendars for July 27th, gather your game face (and dancing shoes), and get ready to be part of something special in Fælledparken. We can almost hear the laughter already—and we wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on it!
