The Scandinavians Are Taking Over!

The North Dakota State Fairgrounds is being overrun with Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, Finlanders, & Icelanders. Once again it is North Americas LARGEST Scandinavian festival, the Norsk Hostfest.

It's a four day party of ethnic food, entertainment, and shopping. The food is fantastic with top Chefs from Scandinavia and other worldwide locations. Entertainment also includes international artists on multiple stages through out the party grounds every day of the festival. There is more then an acre of shopping featuring mostly hand made items.

There is so much to see at the Hostfest you must visit at least two days and of course if you want to see the main entertainment attractions you need to be their all four days.

If you can't make it this year I hope to see you next year for the 48th annual event. Let me know if you are coming so I can attend with you!

Bob, haven't ever been to a Scandinavian Festival, but I am Swedish and Danish, so should be wonderful!

It's overwhelming Joan Cox and a whole lot of fun. There are several free stages and there is always something going on at one or more of those stages in addition to the main stage. I think I will take in The Oak Ridge Boys this year.

Will Hamm I went for about six years in a row but now I am at the point I will go if I like one of the headline bands like The Oak Ridge Boys. Last year it was The Boys and I've also made a special trip to see The Gather Vocal Band.

The Scandinavian Festival sounds like a really fun event, Bob.  In October, I will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I'm going to my very first Octoberfest!

I have never been to an Octoberfest Myrl Jeffcoat but they have one here as well as in Bismarck and Fargo ND. I imagine they are a lot of fun but the circumstances have never been right for me.
