Midsummer Festival
Held annually at Oaks Park, Midsummer is the only way to kick off a truly Nordic solstice.
Through these programs, and more, we seek to introduce new generations to stories of the past and cultivate intergenerational dialogue about a Nordic future.
Through our original, on-site program lineup, we as an organization highlight the past, present and future of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden at local and global scales. We are an inclusive community, welcoming to those of Nordic and non-Nordic descent alike and seek to uphold the ideals of the contemporary Nordic countries, including sustainability, egalitarianism and a deep connection to nature.
