SWEET MELODIES
This year the Hungarian Embassy in Stockholm is participating with cultural programmes for the Stockholm Culture Night on 22 April 2023.
Visitors can gain insight into the unique world of gastronomy diplomacy and read interesting facts and anecdotes about traditional Hungarian cakes at our indoor exhibition. Of course, guests can also taste some of these desserts.
In addition, young Hungarian talents will provide sweet music from the 20th century, thus the evening will be a feast for all senses.
Due to limited seating we ask that you register for the event at rsvp.stockholm@mfa.gov.hu
The program for the night is available HERE
