There will be demonstrations of traditional food, art forms and music along with examples of the traditional "Bunad" clothing. Great baked goods and the classic Norwegian open-faced sandwiches are among the luncheon fair.
Exhibits on Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden also include demonstrations of the Norwegian "Rosmal" art form, the making of Norwegian lefse, plus raffles, door prizes and more.
The gift shop features Scandinavian items and a storyteller will share tales for the children.
