Thanksgiving alone in Europe, without eating alone.

1. Friendsgiving. A potluck with other people far from home: everyone brings one dish, you supply a table. Our sister pages cover it: Friendsgiving on Come Alone Party ↗ and Thanksgiving abroad on Newcomer Kit ↗.
2. American church and club dinners. American churches abroad and US expat clubs often hold an open Thanksgiving dinner or service, usually on the Thursday or the nearest weekend. Dates and ticket windows are announced a few weeks ahead, and some sell out. The verified 2026 examples are in the city sections below.
3. A sports bar for the NFL games. Many bars abroad show the Thanksgiving games, but the late kickoff means you will be out past midnight in Europe. Check the bar’s own page or call first.
4. Volunteering. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks as well as food. Local food banks, soup kitchens and charities often welcome extra hands before the holiday season. Search your city’s volunteering listings and ask the organisation directly; we do not list specific shifts we have not verified.
5. Host a small one yourself. A turkey crown or chicken, three sides and four guests is enough. Invite coworkers, neighbours or people from a local meetup. Local butchers often need turkey orders weeks ahead.

We list only events with a published 2026 announcement, and we link the source for each. Prices and sitting times can change, so confirm on the organiser’s page.

The listing describes a slightly cheeky show about the Spanish Golden Age, an era whose gold enriched art, letters, thought and the humanities, though, as it jokes, not everything that glitters is gold and not every hen lays golden eggs. Pure gold, things that only look like gold and bananas are woven together in an entertainment that mixes humour, live music and plenty of surprises on a tour through some of the lights and shadows of one of the brightest periods in the nation's history.

The listing calls it a multidisciplinary show that combines acting, music and live singing. It is a false recital performed by José Luis Verguizas and Mariano Estudillo, regular members of the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico, who use iconic texts from world drama to build a journey full of humour and autofiction. Between reality and fiction, dreams and consciousness, the earthly and the celestial, the piece reflects with humour on how much truth there is in everything around us, arguing that transcendence need not clash with comedy and that philosophy and the absurd almost touch at their extremes.

The listing explains that it starts from Federico García Lorca's Romance sonámbulo but does not adapt it. Instead, it questions the poem with a text of its own.

Centro Danza Matadero - CDM

On Friday 27 November 2026 at 20:00 the Centro Danza Matadero in Madrid presents the world premiere of Apex Timing by Fonsi López, within the New Creators 2026 programme. The listing says it is a contemporary dance piece for three dancers that reflects on the culture of constant productivity in today's society, where producing has stopped being an action and become a form of identity. This continuous movement creates a state of permanent pressure in which the value of the individual is measured by the ability to keep the rhythm or answer the demand. The text quotes a list of commands: produce, perform, respond, anticipate, adapt, stay available, be efficient, make the most of time. It asks what happens when the value of a life begins to be measured by its performance, and that question is where the piece is born. Tickets start at 18 euros. A short, intense dance piece in a former slaughterhouse complex is an easy evening alone. «¿Qué sucede cuando el valor de una vida comienza a medirse por su rendimiento?» Starts 20:00, ends about 21:15.

Through a guitar, singing, a cello and dance, the show exposes the deep scars of physical, psychological and vicarious abuse. It travels to the centre of the emotions of the abused woman, yet does not stay within the private sphere and points firmly at complicit silence.

The listing describes a bourgeois room where the clocks strike twenty-nine times, where Mr and Mrs Smith fill the emptiness with banalities about daily life. Among guests who have forgotten themselves, a poet maid, a fireman looking for fires that do not exist and a language that falls apart with every syllable, this classic of the Theatre of the Absurd leaves nothing standing.

Alongside HMB, Tim has a central role as a guiding figure rather than a mere guest, leading moments of dialogue, provocation and reflection while sharing stories from his long experience in Portuguese music.

Through dance, song and spoken word they trace journeys across an almost bare space where the light shifts, opening zones of brightness and shadow.

Para Uma Breve História da Água, Teatro Praga, at CCB, Lisbon

Centro Cultural de Belém

On Saturday 28 November 2026 at 19:00 the Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon stages Para Uma Breve História da Água by Teatro Praga, the first part of a cycle called Para Uma Breve História dos Elementos. The listing explains that, in an era when environmental questions matter more and more, the company turns its attention to each of the five elements, following an outdated but still active theory to study their past and present. Rather than debating measures or proposing answers, the shows converse with the elements and take a fictional approach that is more willing to listen than to assert. In this first piece each element is both narrator and protagonist, and humans appear only as guests. The creation is by André e. Teodósio and José Maria Vieira Mendes, with a cast of five. The normal price is 17.50 euros or 20 euros, with discounts available. No end time is given, so a finish of around 20:45 is an estimate. Theatre of this kind is easy to attend alone, since the audience simply watches together. «Para Uma Breve História da Água é o primeiro espetáculo dedicado a esta história, onde cada um dos elementos é narrador e protagonista» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:45.
