Celebrating Norwegian Cultural Heritage Day

We just returned from the Leif Erikson Lodge where a good crowd enjoyed Norwegian treats, crafts and music. It’s all part of Norwegian Cultural Heritage Day at the lodge with the theme, “Tastes of Norway.”

The event featured traditional Norwegian cooking and craft demonstrations.

Including an old-fashioned pickled herring taste off! The original Ballard sushi. A few more photos of food and entertainment follow below…

Mmmmm. Krumkake.

And lefsa on the grill.

Women wearing bunads, the traditional Norwegian folk costume.

And one of the many crafts.
