Raising the Majstång
The League of Swedish Societies celebrates the
96th Annual Portland Midsummer
on June 24th, 2023.
We raise the iconic Majstång (Midsummer pole), decorated with
traditional birch and flowers, in the picturesque setting of Fogelbø
on the grounds of Nordic Northwest.
Hosted by Nordic Northwest as part of their OREGON MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL (www.oregonmidsummer.com)
Music and events will began at 11am.
The Majstång will be raised at 1pm accompanied by music and dancing.
The Portland Nordic Chorus will again lend their voices in traditional Swedish songs.

Dress in your traditional attire if you have it!
Also, if you have flowers to spare from your garden, bring them to add to the Majstång!
The League of Swedish Societies has presented the annual Midsummer Festival since 1928. The Portland Midsummer Festival received designation from the Oregon Heritage Commission as an "Oregon Heritage Tradition".
