The Since 1961, the people of Junction City Oregon have been celebrating their rich Scandinavian heritage by transforming the downtown area into a charming old world town.

Whether you prefer to participate or spectate, the Scandinavian Festival offers a variety of events for the whole family. Colorful costumes are highlighted during the fashion show, and storytellers and actors bring to life the tales of Hans Christian Andersen; and the ever-popular folk dancers are commonly caught with both feet off the ground. Noted as one of the festival's most spectacular features, these folk dancers travel from all over the Pacific Northwest to perform and instruct. Choral and instrumental groups, numerous stage events and the historical museum tour add color and diversity to the Scandinavian festivities.

Every evening at 8:00 pm all the Vikings, Trolls, and performers dance through the streets towards the main Festival Stage to usher in the evening's festivities and the Pageant. It's a great event to watch, and passes by most areas of the Festival; so you'll probably see it no matter where you are.
 
Four local dance groups that perform: The Junction City Recreational Dancers, Nordurljos, Skandia Leikarringen, and Kansantansijat. In addition, there are 3 different children's Dance Groups composed of four to ten year olds. And (if this isn't enough dancing for you) the Festival also hosts other different dance groups each year from the pacific Northwest and beyond.
