Scandinavian Festival 2010

Meg Patch

On April 17th through 18th, the Scandinavian American Cultural and Historical Foundation is putting on a festival at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. If you enjoy the idea of making a head wreath, dancing around a maypole or singing traditional Scandinavian songs then you might want to think about taking the drive up to Thousand Oaks. If dancing isn’t for you then come and enjoy Swedish Meatballs, Aebleskivers (a traditional Danish pancake), Swedish Pancakes, Lefse (a traditional Norwegian flatbread) or Danish Pastries. You will also be able to play many games such as Croquet or Kubb, an ancient game of the Vikings. If you are a car fanatic, they will also be showing vintage cars and motorcycles such as Volvos, Saabs and Nimbus Motorcycles. The festival will be rich in Scandinavian music, dancing, demonstrations, vendors, and food. Don’t miss the chance to explore such a wonderful culture. On Saturday the festival runs from 10am-5pm and on Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
