Norway

Velkommen til Norge!

We are happy to return to Folkfest this year and are excited to be a part of International Place! Here’s what’s in store for you in our corner of the world:  

Food:

Pølse i Lompe (Norwegian hotdog  served in a potato based, soft flatbread called Lompe)

Krumkake – hot off the iron!

Lefse – packaged & ready to eat (come early – this sells out fast!)

Aquivit Bar:

Linie Aquavit – this is the real thing!  This aquavit is aged in the traditional fashion of being placed in sherry casks and put on ship to set sail on a four month voyage across the equator & back. We serve Aquavit straight up or in our two favourite cocktails: Thor’s Hammer and Reindeer Tears. For the beer lovers, we’ll be serving Tuborg beer imported from Denmark.

Displays: 

Our famous Doll display will be back with dolls dressed in Bunads (traditional Norwegian dress) from all parts of Norway.

Ole the Troll is looking forward to his return to Folkfest and will be waiting for a photo op with you!

Entertainment:

Watch the entertainment schedule for our Dancers, who will be performing daily.

Nordic Butikk:

Be sure to check out  our store where you will find various housewares including all the gear needed to make lefse.  As well, a wide variety of souvenirs will be available for you to purchase, and of course there will be candy!   

Norskole:

Have you always wanted to learn to speak Norwegian?  Stop by our Norskole booth for information on fall registration.   

Crafters:

We welcome back a few of our favourite crafters.  Look for Rosemaling and Weaving demonstrations.

For our tiny tourists, we will have a storytelling tent where you can settle in for some quiet time and have Nordic tales read to you by our Storyteller, or do some colouring.  Storytelling times will be posted by the tent.  

Hope to see you soon – trygge reiser!
