There were greetings by the Mayor of Eid, music by the Eid band, and presentation of flowers and gifts. A very busy three days of activities followed which included programs, luncheons, concerts, banquets and church services. Bus trips were made to various points of interest including Grodaas, Stryn, Lake Loen, Briksdal, Innvik, Utvik, and Sandane. Another banquet was preceded by a wedding march led by a Nordfjording fiddler, the bride dressed in Nordfjord traditional wedding costume and bridal crown, and everyone dressed in Nordfjord bunads. During the visit, several gifts were received by the Nordfjordlag from the Norwegian hosts.
Music is a popular part of each stevne and everyone joins in singing the old favorites.
In 1940 Lars Gimmestad wrote the Nordfjordlagets Sang to commemorate the stevne. Originally, the Nordfjordlag was a two or three-day event. In 1997 the Nordfjordlag held a picnic at Swift Falls Park in Swift Falls, Minnesota. Swift Falls is a picturesque village in West Central Minnesota and has been the site of several Nordfjordlag stevner and picnics.
