Free ice cream and mocktails: IKEA puts on a festival in Aalborg

by Megan McPhee Christensen

For the first time ever, the gigantic Swedish furniture chain IKEA is putting on a “global festival”, where they celebrate the home and invite everyone to visit their local store.

The festival will take place tomorrow (Thursday, September 16) from 12:00 to 20:00 in the physical warehouse in Skalborg, and thereafter online on IKEA’s website.

Aalborg is, of course, also included in these festivities and we can therefore look forward to a day filled with music, art, workshops, and plenty of food and drinks.

Free mocktails, cake, and ice cream

IKEA is not just known for their budget-friendly selection of furniture – their food is also a hit, which guests can enjoy upstairs in their bistro.

That’s why the furniture giant has also planned heaps of foodie events for tomorrow.

For example, you can enjoy free mocktails under the disco lights while a DJ plays, try cheesecake made by the women behind the very popular food universe MUMMUM, and eat a heap of free soft-serve ice cream in the bistro later in the evening.

Filled with activities and surprises

It will be a day filled with fun activities and workshops, and IKEA is also promising a range of exciting surprises. See the full program here:
