Scandinavian Festival in Brisbane

A few weeks ago we attended the Scandinavian Festival in Brisbane. The occasion was to celebrate The Danish Club's 140th year as a club in Brisbane. Back in the day it was a club for all Scandinavians.

A whole street was blocked off due to this festival and heaps of stands with food, craft and various small and big Scandinavian businesses. A great day in the sun! It was a really hot day...

Hopefully this will become a yearly event!

  1. Oh I wish that would become a yearly event around here. How wonderful is that. I've been to Sweden once, LOVED it and would love to go back some day.

  2. Oh how lovely! I wish we had a scandinavian festival near me! We did a huge one where I grew up - over the course of a week ... but then 70%+ of the people in my hometown were scandinavian :) Looks like you had a great day!

  4. Ser underbart härligt ut. Ibland tänker jag att vi borde flytta till Brisbane eller i närheten då det finns så mycket mer "svenskt" där än i Melbourne verkar det som.
    Eller så får vi flytta närmare vår storstad, Melbourne hellt eneklt.
    HA en skön helg!
    Kram Anette :-)

  5. Läckert! Diggar din T-shirt alldeles speciellt! =)

    När jag bodde i Seattle i min ungdom fanns det liknande festivaler i en skandinavisk stadsdel där. Verkligen uppskattat, när man var så långt hemifrån! Tror aldrig heller jag har firat svenska högtider så mycket som jag gjorde när jag bodde utomlands.

    Hoppas du får en skön söndag!
