SCANDINAVIAN
MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL JUNE 17 - 19, 2011
The Astoria Scandinavian Festival has been celebrated for more than 40 years. The general goodwill of cheerful people is a vital part of this celebration. If you’re Scandinavian, the Midsummer Festival offers a chance to renew ties with the old country. One doesn’t need Scandinavian heritage, however, to get into the spirit of this event. Taste mouth-watering food, listen to beautiful music and shop for handmade crafts.
The featured event on Friday evening is the selection and crown- ing of Miss Scandinavia. After the coronation, follow Miss Scandi- navia and her court to the bonfire to burn hexes for good luck. Dust off your dancing shoes Saturday and polka the night away. The festival will be held at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, 92937 Walluski Loop, June 17 to 19.
