FASTELAVN
Our Fastelavn celebration will not be held in person this year but stay tuned for some fun ways to celebrate and participate from home!
Fastelavn is presented by

Celebrate the Carnival season in the Nordic fashion with this family-friendly afternoon event.
Fastelavn is a Nordic Carnival tradition where kids dress up in costumes, play games for prizes and make fun crafts, and eat traditional fastelavnsboller buns. The highlight of the event is the barrel-bashing, where kids hit a candy-filled barrel to scare away evil spirits..although nowadays the candy is the main goal!
Nearby bus lines include the 43 and 45, which has a North- and Southbound stop immediately in front of our building. We have two parking lots, with overflow parking available on 80th and Scholls Ferry. We have handicap parking spaces and ADA-compliant ramps accessing our main entryway.
