Labor Day Weekend Fun for the Scandinavians in New Jersey

New Jersey’s 29th Annual Scandinavian Fest was held on Sunday, September 1, 2013 and featured 6 performance/demo/talk areas, over 30 performances for adults & kids, 20+ varied ethnic & festival food vendors (some traditional Nordic items, others with more familiar American ‘festival’ fare), 60+ specialized hand craft & gift vendors with a variety of articles, crafts and designs.

Music, dancing, talks, presentations, classes, demonstrations and more were on program for this special Nordic event – billed as a Smörgåsbord of Family Fun …  in the great outdoors!

ScanFest is held in Budd Lake, NJ – in the fields and groves of the NJ Vasa Park, a sylvan recreational site near Hackettstown in New Jersey’s “Skylands” region. The event is produced each year by Scandinavian Fest, Inc. and runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine.

The largest Nordic festival on the East Coast and perhaps the largest all-Scandinavian event in North America, ScanFest is an all-day outdoor event (entertainment covered) celebrating the food, crafts, arts, traditions and current life of the Nordic countries of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
