The Scan­di­na­vian Mid­sum­mer Fes­ti­val is look­ing for High Qual­ity Crafters for our Craft Fair
June 18th and 19th, 2011.

The dead­line for appli­ca­tions has past, but you may con­tact the office to see if there is still space

The Scan­di­na­vian Mid­sum­mer Fes­ti­val, in its 16^th year, attracts thou­sands of vis­i­tors. We are now look­ing for crafters who can offer us some­thing spe­cial and excit­ing, be it tra­di­tional crafts with an inno­v­a­tive twist of some­thing cul­tur­ally relevant.

We offer you a table at our fes­ti­val for TWO days for just $75+HST.  The fes­ti­val will be adver­tised on JRfm Radio, in the Van­cou­ver Sun and The Province as well as in local news­pa­pers and last year the fes­ti­val appeared on sev­eral tele­vi­sion news­casts. The fun and crazy wife-carrying con­test always draws a lot of atten­tion along with con­tin­u­ous enter­tain­ment all weekend.

Dur­ing the Craft Fair there will be:

• Con­tin­u­ous on-stage entertainment
• Children’s games
• An authen­tic Viking Vil­lage (the Vikings actu­ally camp out all weekend!)
• The rais­ing of and danc­ing around the tra­di­tional May Pole
• Cul­tural displays
• Scan­di­na­vian food

On Sat­ur­day night North America’s #1 ABBA trib­ute band, Abra Cadabra will per­form.  Sun­day morn­ing will bring a Father’s Day Break­fast. The Fes­ti­val will close with the Mid­sum­mer Fes­ti­val Lot­tery with a grand prize of two return air­fares to any city in Scan­di­navia or your choice, donated by Ice­landAir (value of $6,090), and the ever so pop­u­lar wife Car­ry­ing Contest.
