Welcome to the Official 2021 Scandinavian Day Festival Page
|
This will be the 41st Scandinavian Day Festival. Many years have passed and the festival has evolved but it
remains loyal to its roots; the heritage of the five Nordic countries. We achieved our mission to bring the Scandinavian
community together last year when 1,400 people visited the Festival, and with your support we can look forward to a memorable
41th Festival on September 12th, 2021.
The Festival planning team has been working these past few months to select the entertainment including the ever popular ABBA Salute and finding vendors to prepare those delicious Scandinavian foods and an assortment of Scandinavian goods for you. We are excited to bring to our 5 Nordic communities, and the Midwest, a vibrant and fun-filled Festival for 2021. |
