Scandinavian Festival (April 6-7)

LAist.com, cool events 4/4/19; Amber Larson, Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly

The native people of Lapland: the Sami
Party like a Viking this weekend while celebrating the cultures (and food) of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the indigenous Native Swedish Sami people from the Arctic regions of Scandinavia. Check out a Viking village, cooking, and craft demonstrations. Take part in family-friendly activities and shop specialty vendors. 

Fun for Viking boys, too!
Bring an appetite to taste lefse (flatbread), Viking Dogs, pastries, and Æbleskivers (donut balls), then work off the calories as there's a headlining performance by Abba tribute band Abbafab. Both days of the Festival are filled with music, dancing, food, lectures, demonstrations, vendors, and activities for young and old alike. The Viking Encampment and Sami Village will also be on display and many other family activities.
