JULEFEST An annual holiday tradition, and a must to kickoff this holiday season! Saturday, December 2, 2023
Visit our lodge on Liberty Bay to experience Norwegian street food, Scandinavian vendors, and a Lucia Bride ushered to shore in a Viking boat! The evening culminates with the annual bonfire where you'll witness the Viking King’s Winter Solstice Proclamation.
At dusk, the Poulsbo Sons of Norway Vikings will escort the Lucia Bride by boat to shore, where she lights the bonfire, followed by the Viking King’s reading of the Winter Solstice Proclamation. It's not often you can hang out with some friendly Vikings.
Taste of Norway food for purchase
