Norwegian Festival 2024
Washington Lodge 2024 Norwegian Festival
We are holding our 2024 Norwegian Festival! Back by popular demand at Norway House!
Reservations will be required for indoor shopping so it doesn't get too crowded. Links to reserve your spot are below. If case you need help check out our video from last year. The procedure is the same.
Festival dates are
Friday, December 6 9 AM to 5 PM (9-11 Members Only)
Saturday, December 7 9 AM to 5 PM (9-10 Members Only)
Sunday, December 8 9 AM to 5 PM
Note: This year we have allocated the first two hours on Friday and the first hour on Saturday to Lodge Members. This is one of the many benefits of being a member.
Browse an exciting lineup of giftware, linens, books, cookware, Dale sweaters, and Norwegian foods including cheeses, Freia chocolates, fiskeballer, lefse, Solo drinks, Norwegian coffee, jams, marzipan and more.
At the outdoor Norwegian Cafe we'll offer Lefse and krumkakker demos, fresh waffles, pea soup, Norwegian style hotdogs and baked goods. No reservations needed!
Festival Location: Norway House, 3846 Meredith Drive Fairfax, VA 22030 - see map below. We regret that wheelchairs and strollers cannot be accommodated inside. We do have a chair lift.
Due to the space limitations inside Norway House, we abide with the Fire Marshall's regulations for the number of people who can safely be in Norway House at any one time. For the past 2 years, we have accommodated walk-in guests as space permits, guests with reservations receive priority entrance. Walk-in guests may have to wait a few minutes for entrance. We look forward to seeing you at one of our Festival dates! No reservations are required for the Norwegian Cafe, to see the Lundehunds, Norwegian storytelling, play the traditional Norwegian game of Kubb or try your hand at Norwegian Cornhole
If you are interested in helping, please consider volunteering.
