Reminder: Scandinavian Festivals this Weekend

The Viking Festival will be in Owl's Head Park on Saturday, May 16 from Noon to 5 PM. The weekend festivities continue on Sunday along 5th Avenue with The Norwegian Day Parade; its 2009 theme is “Norse Mythology," and it begins at 90th Street at 1 PM. If you want to be there to see the end, be at Leif Ericson Park in the 60's (just past the elevated highway).

The Brooklyn Eagle has an article about the new Scandinavian Museum in Bay Ridge.

Viking Fest in Bay Ridge


May 16th and 17th will bring out the Scandinavians (and those who love them) to celebrate . Check out all the details here. The basics are that Saturday will host a festival in Owl's Head Park from Noon to 5 PM. Viking ships, Scandinavian food, and Turkish drummers. Hmmmm.

And Sunday will be parade day; the theme is "Salute to Norse Mythology" - very cool. Anyone have a spare Valkyrie costume?
