Sofitel’s ‘SKÅL: The Nordic Viking Party’ is back this September
Sofitel Manila is set to launch once more its popular “SKÅL: The Nordic Viking Party” this Sept. 24, after the COVID-19 pandemic put the annual event to a halt for a couple of years. A celebration that puts together Nordic heritage, cuisine, and culture all in one night, SKÅL is set to be bigger and bolder this time around.
Happening at the Harbor Garden Tent in Sofitel Manila, some 1,500 guests are expected to come. They are bound to enjoy a rich and sumptuous buffet of Nordic delicatessen, accompanied by free-flowing drinks. Think rivers and rivers of aquavit, schnapps, and vodka.
The culinary highlight for the night is the irresistible crayfish – freshwater lobster cooked in spices and herbs served the traditional Nordic way. Fun fact: the Crayfish Party tradition has been celebrated in Nordic countries for centuries. Every August, Danes, Finns, Norwegians, and Swedes gather to enjoy crayfish and other Nordic delicacies and schnapps while singing along to fun songs and just having a good time.
Music will play an important role during the night, too. There will be non-stop entertainment on stage, as well as hits from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and Swedish band, ABBA.
Guests also stand to win in a grand raffle with prizes that include exclusive resort stays, worldwide air tickets, and other exclusive prizes from sponsors.
The event has a charitable component, too. Guests who purchase the ticket will be putting a smile on the faces of kids from Chosen Children Village Foundation – a home for mentally handicapped and orphaned children. NordCham is proud to help the most vulnerable kids through this event.
P.S.: Dress up like a Viking on Sept. 24th and get a chance to be named as the night’s best dressed. Bring out your inner Viking and eat, sing, and dance like one without having to travel far.
