Välkommen
New Sweden Cultural Heritage Society was chartered in 1989 for the purpose of sharing, promoting, strengthening and maintaining our Swedish culture and heritage.
We accomplish this through a variety of events and activities. New Sweden produces two traditional events- the August crayfish party- Kraftskiva, and the Lucia Fest in December. As a member of the League of Swedish Societies, we partner with Nordic Northwest to create a Swedish Midsummer highlighted by dancing around the midsummer pole. Additionally, we offer cooking classes, share traditional Swedish recipes, enjoy potluck picnics, crafts, lectures and exhibits.
Our organization is inclusive and its members come from a variety of backgrounds-some were born and raised in Sweden, some have Swedish heritage, and some have no direct connection to Sweden besides an appreciation of the culture.
