Join ASI for a festive and fun holiday weekend full of joy and plenty of opportunities to create new memories and family traditions. Find the perfect gift for everyone on your list at the Julmarknad Handcraft Fair, featuring handmade or handcrafted goods by local artists and pick up a holiday gift from Scandinavia in the ASI Jul Shop. FIKA will serve up Swedish meatballs, open-faced sandwiches and holiday treats including cardamom bread, glögg, and hot cider. Stop by the Bake Sale to pick up some cardamom bread, cookies, and more to bring home to share with friends.

Families can participate in slöjd (handcraft) projects, take a break and enjoy story time with the Christmas Fairy, visit with Tomte (Saturday) and Santa (Sunday) or relax and watch Christmas cartoons.

Cozy up around the bonfire, try your hand at the fiskdamm (fishing pond), or take a run through the ASI kick-sled course. Local musicians will perform Nordic holiday favorites throughout the weekend.
