Vendors at the Scandinavian Christmas Fair, Raleigh, NC
Raleigh’s 14th annual Scandinavian Christmas Fair will be held 10am
to 6pm on December 3th, 2011, at the Holshouser Building on the North Carolina
State Fairgrounds.
The annual Scandinavian Christmas Fair is a celebration of authentic
Scandinavian holiday customs -- and features cultural demonstrations,
crafts and food from the countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland
and Iceland. This Old World celebration has now become a North Carolina
Christmas tradition that attracts Scandinavians and non-Scandinavians
alike.
