Society Events

During the course of the year, the Scandinavian Society takes part in a number of different activities that help to increase awareness and understanding of the Scandinavian cultures. We also help "transplanted" Scandinavians carry on some of the traditions of their homeland while living here in Nova Scotia. As always, members who are non-Scandinavians are welcome to attend these annual events so they may experience some of these unique traditions without having to live in one of the Scandinavian countries.

In the past, The Scandinavian Society has hosted and been involved in events that are not necessarily held every year but are a lot of fun for members to participate in. Some of these past events are linked to various other events taking place in the province such as the Nova Scotia International Tattoo while others deal more with social outings and different workshops available to members. Every year these "special" events change according to what is happening at the time but members are notified well in advance of the planned event.

From time to time, we will also list upcoming events happening in either Nova Scotia or around the world with Scandinavian connections that may be of interest to both our Society members and non-members alike. So keep checking back for any new events that may be happening near you. If you know of any upcoming events that you would like people to be aware of, please email us the details and we'll be happy to post it for you and let everyone know!
