 Juletrefest! 

Sunday, December 17, 2 to 5 p.m.

Norway House 3846 Meredith Dr. Fairfax, VA 22030

You and your family are warmly invited to our festive Juletrefest gala! Join us for an enchanting evening filled with music, camaraderie, and a delightful feast provided by the lodge. Norway House will be adorned with the spirit of the season. All are welcome! This annual Juletrefest celebration promises an immersive experience with a focus on songs, folklore, and delectable dining.

The lodge is excited to offer a sumptuous buffet featuring culinary delights from around the world. This is not a potluck! Renowned musician, teacher, and author Bonnie Fite will lead us on a melodic journey showcasing various Christmas songs including her unique rendition of a holiday classic "The Twelve New Days of Christmas." The party will be MC’d by Dave Brown, accompanied by piano music from our own talented Jan Malecha.

Be on the lookout for a special appearance by Julenisse, who will bring joy and gifts for the children. If you're attending with children, please bring a small, wrapped gift for Julenisse's helper at the door. Kindly notify Youth Director Elspeth Christianson at youth@norwaydc.org to ensure Julenisse is aware of your attendance.

The first 40 adults to join us will receive small gifts and there will be several door prizes throughout the event. Make this Juletrefest a memorable experience for your children and grandchildren! For inquiries, feel free to email Bill DeRoche at Programs@NorwayDC.org.

 We look forward to celebrating the holiday season with you and creating lasting memories together.
