It is with a heavy heart that we must announce we will not be able to hold our 2020 Scandinavian Festival as usual. This is a great disappointment, not just to us, but to all of our vendors, performers and demonstrators, and especially to each of you. This choice was not easily made — tears were indeed shed having to come to this decision — and although we know it’s the right choice, that doesn’t make it any less painful. We know we’re not the only ones who feel this way.

That said, we have every intention to keep in touch with you this summer, and we will definitely be trying to bring some Scandinavian hygge to this amazing community, which has continued to support this Festival since 1961. We’re currently brainstorming what we can do to celebrate Festival from afar.

Please stay tuned. We’ll be sharing more on this topic within the next few weeks. And we shall see you again.

Until then, tusind tak!
