SCANDINAVIAN PAVILION - FOLKLORAMA

“The multicultural festival known as Folklorama was originally created in 1970 to commemorate the 100th birthday of the province of Manitoba. Initially, the festival was only meant to be a one-time event, but due to its over-whelming success it has now run for over 50 years - making it the largest, and longest-running multi-cultural festival in the world.

As one of Folklorama’s longest running pavilions [continuous since 1970], the Scandinavian pavilion has taken pride in sharing with Manitobans the best of its Nordic dances, crafts, and of course its delicious cuisine!” (From the Scandinavian Cultural Centre book This is Us: Centring our Culture for 60 Years, 2021)

After celebrating 50 years of Folklorama, the annual festival of multi-cultural pavilions was put on hold for two years with cultural celebrations being held online and in alternative forms.

The Scandinavian Pavilion has been a part of Folklorama (the world’s largest multi-cultural event), since inception & for every step of the journey.

The Scandinavian Folk Group of Manitoba appreciates the help of all members of the Scandinavian Centre and all previous volunteers, for always making this a memorable event.
