In 2024, the organization underwent a revitalization, with a new board and a program committee dedicated to create exciting events for our scandinavian community.
Every year in November there’s a Juldinner at Viking Hall with traditional Scandinavian Christmas food.
We organize a popular Lucia celebration every December, with a large group of children singing Lucia carols in Swedish.
We’re also organizing movie nights, and new for 2025 we have an Easter egg hunt and a Valborg celebration. We’ve also hosted an aebleskiver making event at Viking Hall. We’re always interested in organizing events that are of interest to our Scandinavian community, so if you have an idea for an event please contact us at chairperson@scscandi.com.
