2025 Midsummer Festival

Celebrate the annual Midsummer Festival – June 20 and 21 at the Scandinavian Heritage Park in Minot!

FREE event with live music, good food, fun activities, local vendors, and so much more – plus the lighting of the bonfire on Friday and Saturday night (weather permitting).

Walk inside the Gol Stav Church and the Sigdal House and watch the Viking Games as you’re surrounded by Scandinavian traditions like Swedish Maypole Dancing. Local bands and musicians will perform throughout Friday and Saturday alongside fun activities and performers. Kids can participate in their very own Viking Quest as they search around the park for prizes.

Experience Scandinavian culture, try out rolling and making your own lefse, sweat it out in the Finnish sauna or, if you’re curious, participate in the first annual Surstromming Eating Contest.
