Our Midsummer Festival is the crowning event of the year for all of our Nordic lodges, and the Danes participate every year by hosting a Danish Booth serving home-made traditional Danish foods.

We are holding Festival in 2024, and the Danes will be hosting their full food both!

Festival has something for people of all ages: music, dancing, homemade Nordic foods, entertainment, a beer garden, aqavit tasting, special breakfasts and dinners, the annual Running of the Trolls fun walk/run, a torchlight parade and hex-burning, games, and the raising of the Maypole.

Join in by attending and taking a short two-hour shift in the Danish Booth. Experienced Danes are happy to help you learn what you need to know to help at the booth if you have not done this before or if you need a refresher.

Sign-ups for shifts will open in May; see our Sign-up Webpage for more information.
