78th Svenskarnas Dag To Be Held

The 78th annual Svenskarnas Dag/Swedish Heritage Day will be held in Minnehaha Falls Park on Sunday, June 26th.
This Midsommar Fest promises to be another one of the best in recent years. This year we are especially fortunate to be in close collaboration with the American Swedish Institute.
We have a fantastic slate of entertainment from Sweden. As of this publication, we have the following talent from Sweden scheduled to perform:

• 4-fiddle group 0914 from Northern Sweden
  
• Ängleholms Marching Band from Southern Sweden.

We, of course, will have our great local performers like the American Swedish Institute & St. Paul Swedish Male Choruses, Svenskarnas Dag Girls Choir, Vasa Junior Folk Dancers and the Twin Cities Swedish Folk Dancers.
As usual, we will be presenting “Swede of the Year” awards to very worthy recipients. We will also be crowning our new 2012 Miss Svenskarnas Dag. We also have an expanded number of Exhibitors and Vendors this year.
We welcome and urge your attendance -- we need and appreciate your support. Stay tuned for updates and more details as planning continues.
