Canceled – Travel in Style to Scandinavian Midsummer Festival

The 31^st annual Scandinavian Midsummer Festival is in Golden this year, and premier luxury bus transportation to and from the fabulous festivities on Saturday, June 15, is being offered by the Museum.  Arranging the trip is the Museum’s Global Adventures club, designed for those who love to travel, want to recount their travel experiences, delight in sharing stories of travel, and/or dream of traveling one day.  The club’s hostess for the adventure is Alice Owen, a club member of Scandinavian heritage.

The Scandinavian Midsummer Festival welcomes over 80 artisans, organizations, and performers to share their culture and traditions through food, crafts, demonstrations, and entertainment.  Participants will enjoy the raising of – and dancing around – the Midsummer Pole, the Scandinavian Market, the Fjellborg Vikings in their living history encampment, storytelling and games with Leif the Viking, making crafts such as flower crowns, and the Scandinavian Classic Car Show by the Rocky Mountain Volvo Group.  Reservations are required by 5 pm Friday, June 7.

The luxurious NOCO Party Bus will depart at 8:30 am from Harmony Park and Ride, on the northwest corner of I-25 and Harmony Road.  The return trip will arrive by 4 pm at the same location.  Admission to the Festival is free and food & drink vouchers will be included.  Registrants are asked to bring a cell phone to maintain contact with the group.

If the weather is not conducive for the outdoor Festival, the bus will drive around Golden, catching the sights and stopping at the Sherpa House Restaurant and Cultural Center.  The unique Center features authentic Himalayan cuisine and traditional Sherpa culture with interior décor that is an authentic representation of a typical Sherpa house in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal.  Participants will be responsible for the cost of their meal.
