Make room for a few tickets in your wallet! 

First, Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner, and then, Canadian Heritage Night.

Indulge: Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner 🍁 Sunday, October 8th

Warning: This sells out early every year! Don’t miss our annual Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner with the Digital Moose Lounge and the Canadian Studies Program at Berkeley. It’s going to be a busy “holiday” weekend (Fleet Week, Veterans Day, getting your hockey tickets) but you’ll be grateful you have a seat at the table and grateful for all the fixins.

Celebrate: Canadian Heritage Night 🏒Thursday, November 2nd

Hockey fans, the Sharks, DML and the Canadian Consulate unite for a special Canadian Heritage Game Night, with a tasty pre-game reception (Augies!), a dedicated Canadian zone for Early Moose ticket holders, and a family-friendly program. The Sharks will host the Canucks. Get your tickets by Saturday, October 8th!

Have questions for the Digital Moose Lounge?

Please reach out to our Chair, Sarah Price (sarah@digitalmooselounge.com).
