Cheers to October with Lederhosen & Pumpkins

Bavarian Vibes Meet Italian Bites: Afterwork Party in Munich

As the sun set over the picturesque city of Munich, work turned into wunderbar for the Munich Italiani Group. Known for their exceptional Aperitivo events, the group hosted an Oktoberfest-themed afterwork party. The fusion of German tradition, Italian hospitality, mouthwatering cuisine, and our friendly members made this a treasured event.

It was clear that some attendees took the Oktoberfest theme to heart, as the table was adorned with dirndls and lederhosen. Without a doubt, the traditional Bavarian clothing added an authentic touch to the evening.

Enjoying Events to Fulfill the Spirit

On the evening of 1 October, members of the Tokyo Japanese Conversation Group gathered around the garden terrace along the river of Toyosu for a soul-soothing evening that blended music, nature, and food. Meeting outdoors despite the chance for rain, the Sunset Music Garden was a testament to the resilience and passion of those who appreciate nature and their sense of community.

On the same day, members of the London Photography Group went on a photographic adventure where vintage met funky fashion at The Classic Car Boot Sale at King’s Cross. As they roamed the street market, they found themselves in a haven of nostalgia, surrounded by classic cars, bikes, and fashion inspired by the 20th century.

The event concluded with a vibrant collection of photos, each frame telling a unique story of the fun day they’d shared together.

The Venetian Masks Exhibition was held in London on Sunday, 1 October. The event was a celebration of the rich history and artistry of Venetian masks, dating back to the 1300s.

Enjoying Autumn: Connecting through the Great Outdoors

In the spirit of embracing the wonders of autumn, the Helsinki Walking & Exploring Group embarked on a pleasant nature walk through Munkkiniemi on 15 October.
