The celebration of Scandinavian and Baltic cultures will continue this year as California Lutheran University presents its 24th Annual Scandinavian Festival on Saturday, April 19, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in CLU's Kingsmen Park. One of the longest running and largest Scandinavian festivals in the state, CLU's cultural gala officially gets under way at 11 a.m. with the introduction of consuls from the Nordic and Baltic nations. The day, which is sponsored in part by the Daily News, is filled with a variety of events and activities for the entire family. Planned events include theatrical performances, folk dances, vocalists, concerts, lectures, a Viking Living History program, a Swedish Court, children's activities, Scandinavian travelogues and the Scandinavian Marketplace featuring crafts, jewelry, clothing and art. Expert cooks will be preparing delicious Scandinavian delights including ableskivers, krumkake, lefse and rosettes.
