Taken during 2002 Nordic Fest.
Nordic Fest remains remarkably consistent in its presentation and authentic cultural celebration focus throughout its 50 year history. The three photos above are good examples of such focus:
1. Luren Singers riding in the Saturday morning grand parade
2. Nordic Dancers performing in the Saturday morning grand parade
3. A weaving demonstration at Vesterheim, where tremendous National Folk Art Exhibitions take place each year
All three photos are beautiful illustrations of three quite popular, authentic, important and beautiful parts of Nordic Fest. All three of these parts of Nordic Fest have been cornerstones of its rich 50 year history.
