Twenty-third Leif Eriksson Internation Festival
Building a cultural bridge between the Modern Nordic countries and the United States,
Mindekirken, the Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church in Minneapolis, and members of the Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish communities established an annual festival to celebrate Nordic cultural roots in the United States. Over the years, the events have brought top-ranked Nordic talent to the Festival. This has helped us all explore the values and goals in today's Nordic countries and share them with other Nordic-Americans. It also has given the Nordic community an opportunity to share its heritage with all citizens.
We welcome you to join us.
Unless otherwise stated, events take place at Mindekirken, 924 East 21st St, Minneapolis, MN 612.874.0716
