Throughout the year we provide our members with many cultural events and activities.
May 5 – Valborg
Walpurgis Night or Valborg, Walpurgishnacht or Valborgsmässoafton! Call it what you will – this is the springtime bonfire celebration that’s a precursor to the spring and summer seasons!
- Join us at Nordia House by purchasing your tickets online. This event WILL sell out!
- We are also looking for volunteers for this event!
May 19 – Orienteering and BBQ
We will team up with CROC for a beautiful orienteering event at Hamilton Island, and then we’ll partner with the Portland Swedish School to host a BBQ.
