The Junction City Scandinavian Festival is a beloved annual festival that takes place the second Thursday-Sunday of August each year. You'll see traditional handicrafts like hardanger embroidery, folk dance performances, and so many tasty traditional Scandinavian foods, as well as some modern and other ethnic options. It's estimated between 80,000-100,000 people visit our Festival in those 4 days each year! We love this community and are so excited to be sharing our Festival with you, on KZbin!

Hello, I am from Mexico, and my daughter is going to take part on a parade at her primary school in celebration of UN world race, and she will relresent Denmark. The lroblem is we dont have a any national costume dress available. Do you know where can I get it online? And under what name should I order it as it seems that Denmark and Germany dresses are similar. Best regards!!

Just so you know I’ve asked many family members and friends of mine who have grown up and live in Norway. They have said that the material to sew a bunad doesn’t have to be from Scandinavia country’s to make it authentic. Just use the correct material like a wool and the correct colors it’s authentic then.
