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)

📣SCANDINAVIAN PAVILION 2025📣

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.

Anyone who’s interested in volunteering that hasn’t before, please email scandinavianpavilion@gmail.com

VELKOMMEN, VÄLKOMMEN, VELKOMIN, TERVETULOA!

We welcome you to join us at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre, 764 Erin Street, during Week 2 (August 10-16, 2025).

Join us as we celebrate the rich history of immigration that has shaped our nations and cultures. Through stories of the past and present, we honour resilience, innovation and culture. Explore how Scandinavian roots have blended with Canadian life, how old meets new and celebrate how immigration connects us all. From Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish settlers braving the vast prairies to Finnish lumberjacks and Icelandic fishermen shaping coastal towns, their resilience and traditions left a lasting mark. Whether you’re here for history, the dancing, or just the meatballs, grab a plate and join the fun.
