Nordic Fest is an annual celebration of Scandinavian heritage, culture, and food. We hold a parade to celebrate and highlight the businesses, organizations, & people that add vibrancy to our community. The parade is a non-political event. However, current office holders are allowed entry as office holders, not as a candidate running for re-election or any other office. Please see the official Nordic Fest Parade Entry Rules and Regulations for further information.

A pooper scooper needs to be provided if there are animals in the unit.
