Daily Events at the Junction City Scandinavian Festival

Scandinavian Information in Festival Hall
BASA: Swedish order of Eugene: providing information about Sweden
Danish Brotherhood of Junction City: Information as well as Danish books, and art, for sale.
U of O Scandinavian Studies: They will provide translations and information about the program.

DANCING: Throughout each day on two stages.

Authentic Scandinavian dancing is one of the most popular attractions at the Festival. We have 2 stages, and (like all entertainment at the Festival) all performances are free. In addition to several Junction City groups, we are often joined by others from Portland, Seattle, and California. Most years we are also able to feature dance ensembles from outside the United States; mostly from Scandinavia. And for a real treat, don't miss the four children's dance groups! They learn the dances at the beginning of each summer and give 2 performances each day.

DEMONSTRATIONS: Given in the shade outside the Art Show

During the Festival you'll have many opportunities to see traditional crafts demonstrated outside the Art Show.. They are listed in the program for each day, so be sure to look for them. Among the many crafts you'll see are hardanger embroidery, bobbin lace, and tatted lace.

Watching what it takes to produce it is a wonderful experience in this day of machine-manufactured goods.

FINNISH LOCOMOTIVE:
Truly one of Junction City's best-known landmarks, this 1904 locomotive resides in Founder's Park at the corner of 5th Ave. and Holly St. at the edge of the Festival.
The locomotive was a gift to the city from the Finnish Counsel of Oregon, Mr. John O. Virtanen, and the people of Finland.
