It’s Skandia’s 70th anniversary this year! We are going to celebrate on Saturday, November 2nd, at the Swedish Club.

If you haven’t been to the Skandia Ball, this is your chance! Festivities start at 6 p.m. with the Social Hour; bring finger food to share and catch up with your friends, or make new ones! The dancing starts at 7 p.m. with the Grand March, and continues until 11 p.m., with a great selection of live music.

This year we will have two musicians from Sweden, as well as music sets from local groups that include singing, nyckelharpa, hardingfele, and, of course, fiddles. The dances will be easy and the music will be great, so bring your friends, even if they haven’t danced before. Don’t miss it! Email [email protected] if you have questions.

In addition to a fabulous Ball, there will be a full week of fun. During the week of October 23–November 3rd, visiting Swedish musicians Per-Thomas Eriksson (fiddle) and Pasi Pasanen (accordion) will play for a variety of dances, classes, and concerts in Vancouver, B.C. and Seattle.
