Thanksgiving in Vienna, 2026: DA Austria’s Favorite Annual Tradition
DA Austria's Annual Thanksgiving Dinner!
Join us on Thursday, November 26, Thanksgiving Day itself, on the rooftop of the Zoku Hotel for good food and excellent company. Turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings will be on the menu, made from the beloved recipes of the U.S. chef who has prepared our feast for the past few years.
Thanksgiving is about gathering, so bring your family and friends, and bring an appetite for both dinner and conversation. Whether you've been with us for years or this is your first Thanksgiving abroad, there's a seat at the table for you. Prefer to celebrate as a family unit? We'll have cozy, family-sized tables. Want to meet new faces and break bread with the wider community? Pull up a chair at one of our long communal tables.
The annual raffle is always a highlight! It's the tradition everyone looks forward to and always a lot of fun. We never fail to have some big winners, and the more tickets you buy, the greater your chances of being one of them.
And don't rush off after dessert! We're thrilled to welcome Danny Chicago, who will take the “stage” once the desserts are shared. So stay, catch up with friends, and enjoy the music.
Price: 62 euros per adult, 22 euros for children 12 and under, plus a minimum donation of $6 per adult to reserve your spot and receive raffle tickets. Please follow the directions below:

We’re using the same payment process we used last year, which avoids high exchange rates and extra fees. Inflation has been brutal on the food industry and the price for turkeys has increased 10%. Dinner this year, including a service fee to the restaurant, will be €62; plus a raffle ticket purchase. With this process, you pay less and we cover our costs.
